- Queen Elizabeth II's coffin arrived in London on Tuesday after a journey from Balmoral in Scotland.
- It will now be taken to the Bow Room in Buckingham Palace where the Queen will spend a final night.
The plane carrying Queen Elizabeth II's coffin from Scotland to England landed in London Tuesday evening, local time.
UK Prime Minister Liz Truss, Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, and a military honor guard greeted the coffin at RAF Northolt, an air force base west of London, the Washington Post reported.
The coffin will now be taken to the Bow Room in Buckingham Palace, where the Queen will spend a final night before being transferred to Westminster Hall.
This was the Queen's final journey from her residence in Balmoral, where she died, aged 96, on Thursday. The cause of death has not been released.
Starting Wednesday afternoon local time, the public has the opportunity to pay their respects to the late Queen by visiting her coffin at Westminster Hall.
It will be open 24 hours a day until early Monday. The Queen's funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey later in the day on Monday.
Queues to visit the coffin have already begun filling up. The Times of London reported an estimated 750,000 people will travel to London to pay their respects, meaning queues could take up to 30 hours to get through.
