Queen Elizabeth II's casket was carried by hearse from St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland to the airport on Tuesday afternoon, where the coffin was welcomed with a royal salute before being flown to London ahead of her state funeral.

The casket — accompanied by the Princess Royal — was moved from Scotland by Royal Air Force aircraft and will arrive at RAF Northolt later Tuesday evening. The queen's body will then travel by road to Buckingham Palace to rest in the Bow Room.

On Wednesday afternoon, the coffin will be part of a procession on a gun carriage of The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery — from Buckingham Palace to the Palace of Westminster Hall until the morning of the State Funeral. The funeral for Queen Elizabeth II will be held at Westminster Abbey on Monday, Sept. 19.
