The Independent – Queen begins her final journey
The front page of the Independent features a full image of Queen Elizabeth’s coffin along with the headline: “Queen begins her final journey.” The paper says thousands are expected to line the streets as the journey to her final resting place begins.
The Queen’s coffin has left Balmoral as it begins the long journey to the late monarch’s final resting place.
Draped with the Royal Standard of Scotland and with a wreath of flowers on top, it has remained at rest in the Balmoral ballroom so castle workers can say their last goodbyes.
The oak coffin was lifted into a hearse on Sunday at 10am by six of the estate’s gamekeepers, who have been tasked with the symbolic gesture, ready for a six-hour journey to Edinburgh.
