WATCH LIVE ABC NEWS SPECIAL REPORT: Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin travels to Buckingham Palace and thousands of people watch.
The coffin of Queen Elizabeth II left the monarch's beloved Scotland and landed Tuesday evening in London, where crowds have gathered along the route it will take to Buckingham Palace.
Earlier, the flag-draped oak coffin was carried from St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh to the strain of bagpipes. Crowds lining the Royal Mile through the historic heart of Edinburgh broke into applause as the coffin, accompanied by the queen's daughter, Princess Anne, was driven to Edinburgh Airport.
While there was a warm welcome in Hillsborough, the British monarchy draws mixed emotions in Northern Ireland, where there are two main communities: mostly Protestant unionists who consider themselves British and largely Roman Catholic nationalists who see themselves as Irish. Maskey expressed condolences to the king at an event in Hillsborough Castle attended by leaders from all the main political parties in Northern Ireland.
Politicians from across Northern Ireland's divides attended a memorial service for the queen in Belfast. British Prime Minister Liz Truss, her Irish counterpart Micheal Martin and Irish President Michael D. Higgins were at St. Anne's Cathedral in the center of Belfast for the Anglican "service of reflection."
