The coffin of Queen Elizabeth of England, who died on the 8th of this month, is accompanied by the new King Charles and enters the cathedral in Edinburgh in northern Scotland, where locals continue to mourn.

Queen Elizabeth's coffin left the Queen's Scottish residence, Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, on the 12th by car, just over a kilometer away, to St Giles' Cathedral.



Behind her coffin-car was her eldest son, the new King Charles, and on either side were kilted soldiers marching slowly step by step.



Crowds of people gathered along the streets of the city center from the morning to watch the coffin pass by, crying and chanting "God bless the Queen."



A woman from Glasgow, Scotland, about 70km away, said: ``It was an emotional day to see the Queen's coffin up close. I thought," and seemed to feel a strong connection with the Queen who loved Scotland amidst the movement to become independent from Britain.



The Queen's coffin arrived at St Giles' Cathedral in about 30 minutes and was enshrined there, with many locals continuing to mourn.



Her coffin will be enshrined in the cathedral for about 24 hours, and on the 13th, she will head to the capital London by air force to prepare for her state funeral on the 19th.

A crown on a coffin, a long line of mourners

Inside the cathedral, the Queen's coffin was placed on a wooden pedestal and crowned with the Scottish crown.



The four children of Queen Elizabeth, including the new King Charles, solemnly surrounded the coffin.



Visitors walked around in silence, looking at her coffin and bowing her head to say goodbye to her queen.



Outside the cathedral, mourners formed a long line, and the man who was waiting said, ``I've been waiting for two and a half hours, but it looks like I'll be in line for another four hours.''



A woman with a child said, ``Children may not have such an experience anymore, and especially because of what happened in Scotland, I thought I had to come.''
