queen elizabeth will remain at the cathedral until tomorrow night and then taken to buckingham palace. king charles anxious side his wife meeting with mourners. earlier they met with both houses of parliament, expressing their condolences for queen elizabeth. saturday the accession council officially proclaiming king charles the reigning monarch. and in 00 a remarkable show of the queen's popularity, the images all weekend long, thousands of people have flocked to the palace to pay their respects. king charles once again arriving there to meet and shake hands with many of them. the queen's council left on a 175 mile journey through scotland, mourners packing the streets to stay farewell. farmers lining the route with an a honor guard of tractors. the queen's daughter following

behind for the entire six hour drive. as the hearse arrived at the palace of holyroodholyroodhouse met by the royals. princess ann with a curtsy. and during this period of mourning, one of the other lasting images of course, prince william and princess kate reunites with harry and meghan, the two couples paying tribute to the queen, of course their grandmother, all together outside windsor castle and meeting with muo mourners. it was pictures of course of the two princes together, honoring their queen, queen elizabeth, their grandmother, commander in chief with an extraordinary sight to see. our team has lined the route all

throughout scotland and of course part of our team also at buckingham palace this morning. amy robach is in edinburgh. an extraordinary sight to see the people line up to pay their respects. >> it certainly has. we've been here now for several days and the anticipation of the queen's coffin was real and certainly the king himself arriving just a short while ago here. and we have watched police presence increase and people lined the streets yesterday, thousands of them, to see the queen's hearse pass them by to just get a glims opse of the coffin. and we talked to americans and french and people from all over europe, not just scots here wanting to see history unfold and to pay their respects to a woman who they say showed them strength and courage throughout the years. it is palpable the emotion and sentiment being felt by the

people here in edinburgh to witness and pair thaty their fi respects. people certainly excited and saddenedity same time. it is an interesting moment. scotland of course has always regarded queen elizabeth ii as their queen and there is a lot of questions about how the new king will fit into the role here in this country. but right now, this is a day of mourning, this is a day of honoring queen. and certainly so many people here waiting to see the pomp and circumstance take place. >> no question about that. your courage has been exceptional. and i want to bring in our royal contributor. she had a love of scotland, her mother was from scotland, deep roots there. and we knew balmoral was her beloved place. to have tihave died there and n giving scotland an opportunity to pay tributes as well is quite something. >> exactly.

i think actually that is not unheard of, the fact is she would love being in balmoral. her grandmother was earth of strathmore, her mother scottish, so important to her, but i think that what had happened if she had been somewhere else and passed away, the whole journey from balmoral down to edinburgh wouldn't have happened. so all the people in scotland have a real chance to be a part of it and now the coffin is being seen with prince of wales the head of the recession. >> robert, thank you. let's take a moment to watch. ♪

♪ ♪ >> king charles watching on. we know the coffin will be taken to procession in that hearse from the palace of holyroodhouse

to saint giles cathedral. and you have like lie detector not no -- likely noticed that the coffin is draped and dressed with a wreath of flowers. most from balmoral. flowers the queen loved.

the royal company of archers surrounding the hearse now. and it is important to remember that at least this part of the journey, none of this would have played out had the queen thought died in her beloved scotland whereas robert pointed out she has such a deep family history. victoria murphy, also a royal contributor, with us. it is extraordinary to watch this and the people of scotland pay their respects because as we

know, the queen so loved her time there. >> you're absolutely right. and incredibly emotional there to see king charles, this must be a very emotional moment for him. the first time that he has been pictured publicly alongside his mother's coffin. his siblings were at the palace when she was brought down on that long slow journey from balmoral, but this is the first time that her four children have publicly been together since she died. and i think it is poignant when we see him walk behind the coffin all the way to saint giles cathedral, yes, there is a pecking order in the royal family, but they will be walking side by side. the queen followed by her four children. >> such an important point because obviously so much focus on king charles as there should be with this new chapter of the monarchy, but i wanted to ask

about princess ann, particularly moving over the weekend, the curtsy, the devotion to her mother on full display. typically tough and no nonsense, but you have been able to see the pain on her face during all this. >> you're so right, david. i'm so glad you mentioned her because she has such a key role to play over these few days. the queen's only daughter. she was as we know jumped, she wasover takenovertaken by the yr brothers because the same favored males. but she has been a stalwart for the monarchy. she was a huge support to her mother and will continue to be i think to her brother the new king. her hrole was to father her mother's coffin yesterday and she will also be accompanying the coffin by plane when it comes down from scotland to

england and to london tomorrow. so very important role for a very important woman. >> victoria, thank you. and so the journey begins from scotland. holyrood, the palace there, which was her official home in scotland. at least here in the u.s. we heard so much more about balmoral where she spent so much of her summer each year. and as victoria points out, h behind the hearse her children will be walking, king charles, princess ann, prince than drew, duke of york, of course prince edward. guiding their mother along this final journey.

we saw a glimpse there. the children will be in uniforuniform, the working royals. those who are not working royals obviously wearing a suit to pay their respects. but that would explain why we will see some in uniform and others not. and as we take in this solemn moment, moving image coming out of scotland this morning, maggie

rulli is along that route and i believe posted where the hearse will pass by first. but let's listen for a moment, maggie, and then we'll come to you for your thoughts.

the procession getting close to

where maggie rulli is along the route. and maggie, it has been extraordinary to see the thousands that have lined this route. >> and david, eventually up to tens of thousands along this route. everyone coming out to see their queen. i want to show you where the hearse coming down the street behind us. this is the beginning of the procession here in edinburgh, it is going right down the heart in the old city of edinburgh down the royal mile. we were out there earlier. it is 15 people team at some points and yet somehow even with those numbers, it strangely feels intimate. i think there is a shared sense of grief between everyone right now. and none of this would be happening if the queen hadn't passed away in scotland. and so many scottish people say this moment almost feels like it was meant to be, like the queen chose to spend her final moments here in scotland just so she could have this last chance to connect with the scottish people

just so that they could have one more chance to be with their queen. and for so many that we've met out there, they said that it is just important for them to be here in this moment. and i have to say, there are tens of thousands of people beside us and it is so silent, you could hear a pin drop. there is that level of grief ad dignity. >> as maggie mentioned, robert mentioning earlier, almost as though the queen planned this. we do know that she was intimately involved in the overall plans. but to have died in her beloved scotland, such deep roots. and a lot of these images obviously from the cameras

positioned along the route, that shot we saw moments ago, the tight image of the siblings standing side by side. charles now the king, king charles iii, princess ann in uniform because she is a work royal along with edward as well. prince andrew ao ocosell four of the siblings. you heard victoria mention earlier that the line of succession, that has been updated from decades ago. but the line of succession at the time put the sons first before princess ann even though she was the second born. that will not be the case for prince william and princess kate's children.

victoria murphy, you could not fit another soul along the route there. >> no, it is really truly incredible to see so many people there in scotland turning out to have this very personal moment alongside the queen, alongside their queen. and i think that is what characterized her life. and it is so appropriate that that is now what is characterizing her death, the fact that she has made this journey from balmoral, so many people able to come out to take their spot, catch a glimpse of her there. and now today as well, people able to come and have this final moment with her as well. her body will be in saint giles cathedral overnight and the public will get the opportunity to file through and to see it

there. and that is kind of a mini version of the lying in state that we will see here later on in the week at westminster down here in london. >> and james longman is watching along with us from his post at buckingham palace. and i like the point you made earlier, more than a monarchy, she was the sort of rock on which modern britain was founded. >> yeah, i mean, absolutely. you know, she was much more than just a queen. she was a grandmother to many people in this nation. there were lots of people in britain who loved the monarchy and you can seeing them here lined up. they will be out in the streets of london in epic proportions, it will be the greatest display of national mourning i think we've ever seen. but there are a lot of people in britain who are fairly ambivalent about the monarchy, but even for them, this woman was tremendously important.

she was cross-cultural in her appeal, she managed to appeal to people across the system. and it is very difficult to describe the whole this british life that she has thousanow lef. and i think that we'll really understand the deep, deep feeling that people have for her when we witness the crowds who will descend on london when this procession is replicated here hundreds of thousands i think will come out. it will be kind of like an all-day all night solemn carnival is how i would describe it. i imagine people sharing stories, sharing food, playing music perhaps and in a dignified way. in celebrating the britain that she created. and we're seeing a little bit of that now. this is an incredibly solemn moment moving toward the cathedral, but as it go through the public lying in state, i think that we'll see britain

coming together in the community that she built, and it will be incredibly moving. >> and it bears repeating the number that you say discussed going into the weekend with our reporting that for the people of the commonwealth, more than 80% of them have known no other sovereign. they were born with the queen leading them as head of state. >> absolutely. and that is -- that was her power, to just be through many decades of quite significant social and political unrest all around the world. yes, she had hospitals in her reign where she man a -- made an impact. and 1997, that was a dark day with the death of princess diana and she came in for a lot of criticism at that point. i think the last 0 20 years she has grown into our grandmother

and her appeal was just total. i remember a few years ago there was a very sad tragedy here in london, the fire, and i was there and she managed to unite people in a way no other politician had been able to. the prime minister had come under criticism, various local leaders had. and she appeared in this area of london which was fairly deprived where there were all different social classes affected. and she was the face that she they wanted to see. and i remember looking at the crowds light up as she arrived. and it is intangible really her appeal to people. i'm not sure britain really understands what it has lost yet. >> and as much as they were waiting at the time after t diana's death to hear from the queen, at the same time the profound level of restraint, privacy, dignity that this queen has brought to every moment

during her reign is also what they respected most, the irony of that moment, it did take several days and when she does appear before the commonwealth and the world, calling diana an exceptional human being, it was profound particularly more so bec. and now the world honoring queen elizabeth. 73 years was her marriage to prince philip. equally as impressive. it was prince philip himself who said he served his queen and it took him many, many decades to recognize how to best fulfill that role. i loved one of the things he said the key to their very long marriage was i could make the queen laugh.

robert, as you can see the people of scotland lined up 10, 15 people deep along this route. the queen would be so proud of her scotland. >> there is deep respect here for her majesty. and you can see how they are lined up in silence many of them watching the procession. i'm struck also by the military element of what we're witnessing with the soldiers in their magnificent kilts marching alongside the sproegs. t procession. the military uniforms of the king and the siblings. iconic that the only one of them who fought on the front line, duke of york, is not in uniform because wearing his medals. but she was the commander in chief as well as many roles. head of the church of england,

supreme governor, head of state, queen of the nation, but also she was in charge of the military. they go into battle for queen and country and for king and country and i think that is very important to the military. so it has that sense about it, this is a country almost -- this is a part of burying a general really in many ways. >> really important point, robert. and just to pick up on that thought, prince harry o overissuing his first public anotr a h made sure to mte s hi commandern ief in that moment in his young life. >> he did. and he was actually -- he spoke a lot about that, harry, of course he served on the front line in afghanistan with distinction twice.

and as duck of york, fought with extension. so somewhat ironic that he is not in uniform. but really most important to remember, although it is a nation mourning and all the people watching on mourning, but it is really a family in mourning. and they are having do so on public display in this manner. and i think that must be so difficult for all of them particularlyng. >> rort, thank you. as always. our linsey davis is where this journey will end at least in scotland for the day as this hearse is carried to saint giles. and i gather they are also out to pay their respecs where you are. >> yes, we are just outside of giles cathedral where we're waiting to get a glimpse of the coffin and family making their

way down this three quarter mile walk down the royal mile. earlier many of us heard from king charles saying that he can't help but feel the weight of history. and i think that that sentiment is shared by so many who are out here. we talked to one woman who said that she felt compelled to bring her 5-year-old grandson so that he could witness this moment for himself. a woman who was crying who said that she felt that it was a personal loss. a couple from america who said that they just happened to be in town but they had never seen something so historic. and david, i'm struck by the silence. people have talked about how this is so somber at this time, but you have so many people, thousands of people. edinburgh is a city of about 550,000 people. i'd have to say a good fraction of that population is present and about 20 rows deep crowding the cobblestone roads here on the way to saint giles

cathedral. and there is sunshine here in edinburgh today which is not so traditional or customary here in scotland. on the contrary, in 1953 during the queen's coronation in the uk, it was a rainy day when she said that she would strive to be worthy of the trust of her people. david, perhaps what we're witnessing today and over the last few days is that in the end perhaps she achieved that, that people feel the need to show their address miles per hour race, their affection, their respect and their reverence for the queen herself and her 70 plus years on the throne. of course once they arrive here at saint giles, it is about a 15 minute walk, expected to be, it is going to be scripture and hymns that will be sung, all of this of course that was approved ahead of time by the queen. among the scriptures, for

everything there is a season, a time to be born, and a time to die. >> and this season marked by the profound turnout of people from all backgrounds. the people of scotland paying their respects. the image of the farmers, tractors leined up, a symbol of the depth of people and backgrounds that the queen served and won over during her 70 year reign. amy, we know the queen will be at saint giles and then eventually at westminster. she will lay in state and she is the first to lay in state since the queen mother in 2002. >> that is correct. and so many people are

anticipating so many of the services and opportunities that they will have across the united kingdom to pay their respects to the queen. and so, as you mentioned, yes, she will lie in repose here at saint giles first for about a 24 hour people, people will be able to come and pay their respects. also this evening there will be a vigil head at saint giles cathedral and the king will be there, he will be holding the vigil for people also to say their final good-byes to the queen. >> amy robach who has been helping to lead our coverage from the commonwealth after the queen's passing, amy, thank you. we heard linsey mention what parents have been saying. and i was struck by a mother who br brought her 1-year-old child and said i brought her so i could tell her one day about the queen and that she was here too. our coverage continues on
