Members of the public will be able to pay their respects to the Queen from later on Monday as her coffin lies in rest in Edinburgh.
Large crowds are expected to be present at St Giles’ Cathedral, where mourners will be allowed to file past the late Queen’s coffin from around 5.30pm on Monday until 3pm on Tuesday.
A queue will start at George Square Lane/North Meadow Walk in The Meadows, where one wristband per person will be issued.
Only people with wristbands will be allowed to enter and flowers are not be permitted to be brought in.
Anyone planning on attending is warned to expect long waits and airport-style security checks.
Mourners are also being asked to pass the coffin without pausing in order to ensure as many people as possible can pay their respects.
A series of local and major road closures remain in place due to the ceremonies continuing to take place in the city centre, with those planning on paying their respects at St Giles’ being requested to access George Square by public transport or on foot.
