The King will start the day in London, travelling to Westminster Hall to meet with both houses of Parliament and receive their condolences.
After that, he will go to Edinburgh to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, where the coffin containing his mother Queen Elizabeth has been lying overnight, after a six-hour journey from Balmoral, where she died.
King Charles will join the next stage of the procession on Monday afternoon, when the Queen will leave the Palace of Holyroodhouse at 2.35pm, making the 1.6 mile journey to St Giles Cathedral.
