The Queen's coffin is being taken through Scotland to Edinburgh, having left her beloved Balmoral estate.
On a final journey through the UK, the Queen's coffin has travelled through Aberdeenshire on a six-hour journey to the Scottish capital.
The first sighting emerged at 10am, when it left Balmoral draped in the Scottish royal standard.
Six gamekeepers who work there lifted the oak coffin to a hearse.
It left Balmoral and travelled through nearby Ballater on its way to Aberdeen, where she is due before midday. While there, tributes will be paid at Duthie Park.
It will then be taken south on the A90 to Dundee, arriving at about 2pm.
