She arrived at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh on Sunday, after a six-hour journey from Balmoral.
Her coffin remained in the Throne Room overnight, so staff could bid farewell to Her Majesty.
Despite it being four days since the Queen died, Monday marks D-Day +3 - or D+3 - in the plans for the aftermath of the death, codenamed London Bridge.
This is due to the announcement taking place late on Thursday, meaning plans were shifted a day to allow the complex arrangements to be put in place.
A number of things are set to take place on Monday.
