Members of the royal family gathered to follow Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin in a solemn procession in London on Wednesday.

The Queen’s coffin, which had the Imperial State Crown placed on it, left Buckingham Palace at precisely 2:22 p.m. local time.

Thousands lined the streets to watch the coffin, which was borne by the gun carriage of the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, make its way from Buckingham Palace to the Palace of Westminster, where it will lie in state until her state funeral on Monday. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to participate in the public viewing.
