After Being Buried in St. Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, Queen Elizabeth II's Coffin Flown to London Today

JAKARTA - Queen Elizabeth's coffin will be flown to London on Tuesday, after being laid to rest at St. Giles, Edinburgh, Scotland, where his son King Charles III and his three siblings maintain silence.

Charles joined his sister Princess Anne and brothers Prince Andrew and Prince Edward for a 10-minute vigil on Monday at St Giles Cathedral, where they stood, heads bowed, on all four sides of the coffin while members of the public lined up to pay their respects.

While the wailing of bagpipes were the only sound as soldiers flashed with coffins earlier in the day, the four nobles left guard in the darkness to the sound of applause from the mourners lining the street.

Frances Thain, 63, said she was surprised to see the queen's four children as she entered the cathedral.

"I'm just overwhelmed because there's so much to take," he said.

People lined up all night to pay their respects, with some arriving with sleeping children, many wearing winter jackets, scarves, and woolen hats to keep out the cold.

"We really wanted to be here to show our respect," said Will Brehme, an engineer from Edinburgh, who arrived in the early hours of the morning with his partner and 20-month-old daughter sleeping in a baby sling.

"This is a moment that will live with us forever. When you think that he worked his whole life for us, that is the least we can do," he said.

Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday last week at Balmoral Castle, in the Scottish Highlands, at the age of 96 after 70 years of reign. Her funeral will be held on September 19.

The Queen's coffin will leave Scotland for the first time since her death, when it is flown to London in the afternoon and then taken to Buckingham Palace.

On Wednesday, the Queen's coffin will be carried in a cannon carriage as part of a large military procession to Westminster Hall, where the state funeral period will begin until September 19.
