As per ITV, the late 96-year-old monarch’s coffin is due to be taken from Holyroodhouse to St Giles where members of the royal family will be gathering with a Scottish congregation to honour the Queen with a service of thanksgiving.

While no particular details have been revealed as to who will be a part of the royal procession, it is expected that Prince William and Kate Middleton, the new Prince and Princess of Wales, will walk alongside King Charles.
