The hearse carrying the coffin of Britain's Queen Elizabeth has arrived in Edinburgh following a six hour journey through Scotland from Balmoral Castle.
As the royal convoy travelled down the city's Royal Mile, the crowd fell silent in respect for the queen as her coffin passed.
Moments later, a round of applause and cheers broke out.
Three of the queen's children - Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward - watched as soldiers from the Royal Regiment of Scotland carried the coffin into the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
The oak coffin will lie in state there overnight.
Tomorrow, the UK monarch's remains will be brought to Edinburgh's St Giles' Cathedral, where people will be able to pay their respects.
In an emotional tribute to his mother on Friday, King Charles III said she had begun a "last great journey" to join her husband of 73 years Prince Philip, who died last year.

A handful of protesters opposed to the British monarchy attended some events.
The cortege from Balmoral is the first of a series of events leading up to the queen's state funeral at Westminster Abbey in London on 19 September.
The queen came to the throne following the death of her father King George VI on 6 February 1952, when she was just 25. Her coronation took place a year later.
Charles became king immediately after his mother's death and was officially proclaimed the new monarch yesterday.
Similar proclamations are following across the UK and the other 14 realms of which Charles is now head of state, including Australia, Canada, Jamaica, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
King Charles will visit Edinburgh, Belfast and Wales in the coming days with Camilla, the Queen Consort, and British Prime Minister Liz Truss, to hear condolences from politicians and respond to their words of sympathy.
The new monarch this evening left Buckingham Palace to cheers from the crowds after a day of meeting people like Commonwealth general secretary Baroness Scotland.
People erupted in cheers as his motorcade emerged from the palace gates.
Charles could be seen waving to people lining the street as the convoy travelled up the Mall.
The king will begin his visit to legislators at London's Westminster Hall tomorrow, where both Houses of Parliament will express their condolences to the new monarch and his wife.
Later that day, Charles and Camilla will fly to Edinburgh where he will inspect the Guard of Honour at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, before attending the ceremony of the Keys on the forecourt.
During the day, the king will join his other siblings walking behind the queen's coffin when it is moved from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to St Giles' Cathedral where it will lie for 24 hours so the public can pay their respects.
Camilla and other members of the family will travel by car and all the royals will attend a service of thanksgiving for the life of the queen.
At the Palace, King Charles will hold audiences with Ms Sturgeon, followed by an audience with Alison Johnstone, the Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament.
Belfast is the next stop with the royal couple visiting Hillsborough Castle on Tuesday, where they will view an exhibition about the late queen's long association with Northern Ireland.
The king will then meet Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris and party leaders and receive a message of condolence led by the Speaker of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
