A primeira parada do corpo de Elizabeth II durante o cortejo fúnebre deste domingo (11/9) ocorreu por volta das 12h30 (horário de Brasília) em Edimburgo, capital da Escócia. A monarca ficará no Palácio de Holyroodhouse — na cidade — para depois embarcar (de avião) para Londres.
O corpo de Elizabeth II estava no Castelo de Balmoral (onde a monarca morreu) e levou cerca de seis horas para chegar a Edimburgo. A distância entre os locais é de 160 km.
Durante chegada a Edimburgo, o carro fúnebre com o Elizabeth II passou pela Royal Standard of Scotland. A rua foi o local onde o público acompanhou o cortejo. No momento da passagem do caixão houve silêncio e aplausos.
