Daily Mirror – The final journey home
It is a sombre front page for The Mirror, which focuses on a photo of the Queen’s ‘final journey home’. A commemorative pull-out celebrates ‘a life of joy and duty’.
The Queen will on Sunday begin her final journey as her coffin travels to Edinburgh before being flown to London ahead of her state funeral.
Thousands are expected to queue through the night to pay their last respects.
The plans were unveiled as it was revealed on Saturday night that Queen Elizabeth’s state funeral will be held on Monday next week – which has also been declared a bank holiday.
Six gatekeepers who had “a personal relationship” with the monarch will this morning carry her oak coffin from the Ballroom at Balmoral Castle, where she died, to a hearse for a journey of just over 100 miles.
On Sunday afternoon she will be received at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh – the monarch’s official Scottish residence – by a Guard of Honour formed by The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
