Queen Elizabeth's body in London for final farewell
Hundreds of thousands of Britons are expected to bid farewell to their popular late Queen Elizabeth II in London, about a week after her death in Scotland.
The coffin of the Queen, who died last Thursday at the age of 96, arrived in the British capital on Tuesday evening.
After a night at Buckingham Palace, the body will be taken to Westminster Hall, the oldest hall in the British Parliament, in an official procession in central London.
For five days, from 17:00 (16:00 GMT) Wednesday to 06:30 Monday, the day of the national funeral, the British can come to bid farewell to the late Queen.
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to visit Westminster Hall, which will remain open 24 hours a day.
But it takes patience with long lines that can stretch for miles.
Elizabeth II's coffin was shrouded from Monday evening to Tuesday evening at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh.
About 33,000 people, some weeping, waited for hours to see the coffin draped in the royal flag.
On Tuesday evening, Princess Anne, the daughter of Queen Elizabeth, accompanied the coffin on the plane that took him from Edinburgh to London.
The new King Charles III was present to receive the casket upon his arrival at Buckingham Palace.
