Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin has landed in London, and will now be taken to Buckingham Palace by car.
The coffin was transported from Edinburgh on board a C-17 Globemaster transport plane, Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston told Sky News Tuesday in an on-camera interview. It’s a “heavily used aircraft, it carried the majority of the 15,000 people that we evacuated from Kabul last summer,” said Wigston. “And, since then, it’s been involved in airlifting humanitarian aid and lethal aid nodes to support Ukraine,” he added. Princess Anne accompanied the Queen on her final flight.
” Following the reception at the castle, the King and the Queen Consort arrived at St. Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast for an afternoon service of prayer and reflection. They will be introduced to faith and community leaders from across Northern Ireland. More than 800 people are expected to take part in the religious service, which was also attended by UK Prime Minister Liz Truss.
