The queen has left Buckingham Palace for the last time. Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin was on Wednesday taken from the palace to Westminster Hall, where she will lie in state until 6:30am local time Monday, the day of her funeral. King Charles III led the procession behind the coffin alongside his siblings and two sons. Once at Westminster, the queen’s coffin was placed on a raised platform called a catafalque; it will be guarded by soldiers whose units serve the Royal Household round-the-clock.
