EDINBURGH, Scotland — King Charles III, dressed in a Field Marshal’s ceremonial uniform, and his three siblings, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward marched behind a hearse carrying their mother’s coffin Monday in a solemn procession attended by thousands along the Royal Mile in the historic heart of the Scottish capital of Edinburgh.

The hearse was flanked by a bearer party of the Royal Regiment of Scotland and a detachment of The King’s Body Guard in Scotland, the Royal Company of Archers. Following the procession, a memorial service for Queen Elizabeth II was held at St Giles’ cathedral in Edinburgh.

The coffin, with the Crown of Scotland resting on a cushion on top of it, is to stay in the 12th-century cathedral through Tuesday. Soon after the service ended, the cathedral opened members of the public who wish to pay their respects to the late queen.
