The flag-draped coffin of the late Queen Elizabeth II was taken along the Royal Mile in the Scottish capital Edinburgh on Monday in a silent and solemn procession watched by thousands of people lining the street to pay their respects to Britain's longest-serving monarch.

As the procession continued its journey to St. Giles' Cathedral, people who had gathered to pay their respects were tearful and emotional. Many of them who said they had lost family members of their own mourned the loss.

“I just feel for her children. I've lost both my parents, not easy. But when you're in the limelight like they are and you don't have time to grieve privately, quietly - very hard, very hard," said Audrey Loy, another mourner.

At one point, a heckler was pulled from the crowd as the procession went up the Royal Mile.

The coffin will lie in St Giles' Cathedral for an overnight vigil before being flown to London on Tuesday.
