Queen's coffin heads to London as crowds gather to pay their respects

King Charles III, already undertaking the task of shoring up the monarchy throughout the U.K., traveled to Northern Ireland to meet political leaders and receive condolences.

By NBC News
LONDON — Thousands of mourners lined up through the night to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II in Edinburgh, as the United Kingdom continued a week of pageantry to mark the death of its longest-serving monarch.

The queen's coffin is due to arrive at London's Buckingham Palace on Tuesday night. More than a day before, a line began forming there of those who want a chance to bid farewell to the queen when she lies in state at Parliament later this week.

Meanwhile, her eldest son, King Charles III, is already undertaking the task of shoring up the monarchy throughout the U.K. He traveled to Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Tuesday to meet political leaders, receive condolences and attend a prayer service.

In a sign of how far the territory has come since the height of the "troubles," representatives of Sinn Fein — the Irish nationalist party with historic links to the Irish Republican Army — met the king and attended the memorial events for a queen whose rule they sought to cast off.

Here’s what to know for Tuesday:

Members of the public viewed the queen's coffin as she lay at rest in Edinburgh's St. Giles' Cathedral.
The coffin was transported by car to Edinburgh Airport before being flown to RAF Northolt near London.
A state hearse will take the queen's coffin to Buckingham Palace, where mourners have continued to gather to pay their respects.
The king met dignitaries in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where he was due to attend a prayer service at St. Anne's Cathedral before returning to London.

Pallbearers from the Queen’s Color Squadron of the Royal Air Force could be seen carrying Queen Elizabeth II's coffin, draped in the Royal Standard of Scotland, onto a RAF C17 aircraft at Edinburgh airport on Tuesday.

The coffin will now be moved to Buckingham Palace in London.

The body of Queen Elizabeth II was carried from St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Tuesday to begin the journey back to London.

The crowds along the way were largely silent, although occasionally clapping erupted as the coffin was transported by hearse to Edinburgh Airport.

It will then be flown to RAF Northolt near London, and then driven to Buckingham Palace.

On Wednesday, it will be transported to the Palace of Westminster where Elizabeth will lie in state until her funeral Monday in Westminster Abbey.
