Queen Elizabeth updates: State funeral ends 11 days of ceremonies

Members of the public will be able to pay their final respects to Queen Elizabeth II later this week, as the late monarch lies in state at the U.K. Houses of Parliament in London for four days.

According to a press release from the U.K. government on Monday, people will be allowed to "file past the coffin 24 hours a day" inside Westminster Hall from 5 p.m. local time on Wednesday until 6:30 a.m. local time on Sept. 19, the day of the funeral.

"Those wishing to attend will be required to queue for many hours, possibly overnight," the government added. "Large crowds are expected and people are encouraged to check ahead, plan accordingly and be prepared for long wait times."

All attendees must go through "airport-style security and there are tight restrictions on what you can take in, with only small bags permitted," according to the government.

King Charles III was presented with keys to the city of Edinburgh after he arrived in Scotland on Monday, as a part of the Ceremony of the Keys tradition as monarch. Edinburgh Lord Provost Robert Aldridge welcomed the new king to his "ancient and hereditary kingdom of Scotland."

Britain's King Charles III and his wife Camilla, Queen Consort, traveled on Monday from London to Edinburgh, where they will walk behind his mother's coffin as it is transported in a procession through the Scottish capital.

Thousands of people have lined the streets since the coffin carrying the late Queen Elizabeth II began its final journey from Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where the 96-year-old monarch died last Thursday. On Monday, the coffin will be moved from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to St. Giles' Cathedral, with Charles and Camilla walking behind it along Edinburgh's Royal Mile.

A service to celebrate the late queen's life will take place Monday afternoon at St. Giles' Cathedral, where members of the public will be able to pay their respects and view the coffin for 24 hours before it is flown to London on Tuesday.

Charles and Camilla will also hold a vigil at St. Giles Cathedral on Monday evening.

King Charles III addressed the U.K. Houses of Parliament for the first time as sovereign on Monday morning.

Speakers from both Houses of Parliament addressed the new king at Westminster Hall in London. Charles, accompanied by his wife Camilla, Queen Consort, then gave a reply in front of some 1,200 people gathered inside.

"As I stand before you today, I cannot help but feel the weight of history which surrounds us and which reminds us of the vital parliamentary traditions to which members of both Houses dedicate yourselves, with such personal commitment for the betterment of us all," Charles said in a brief speech.

"We gather today in remembrance of the remarkable span of the queen's dedicated service to her nations and peoples. While very young, her late majesty pledged herself to serve her country and her people and to maintain the precious principles of constitutional government which lie at the heart of our nation," he added. "This vow she kept with unsurpassed devotion. She set an example of selfless duty which, with God’s help and your counsels, I am resolved faithfully to follow."
