Disgusting behavior no matter your personal opinion a bit of respect for the elderly never hurt anyone, I'm descendent from Irish convict stock and I find this offensive

After days of mourning and commemoration, and his first visit to Northern Ireland as monarch, it was the last thing the King needed - a leaking pen!


The late Queen’s coffin is transferred to an RAF C-17 Globemaster (ZZ177) at Edinburgh Airport to be flown to RAF Northolt in London, accompanied by the Princess Royal and her husband.


The RAF C-17 Globemaster (ZZ177) carrying the Queen’s coffin lands at RAF Northolt in London following its journey. The Royal Standard over the coffin was changed to the English/UK Royal Standard during the flight.


Queen Elizabeth II's coffin is taken to Buckingham Palace, where it will stay overnight before being moved to Westminster Hall on Wednesday. Then the Queen will lie in state for four days.

The Queen leaves Buckingham Palace for the last time. Members of the Royal Family walk behind the Queen's coffin in a procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where it will lie in state until Monday 19th September 2022, D+10.


The Queen’s coffin arrives at Westminster Hall, followed by members of the Royal Family.


The Queen's coffin enters Westminster Hall in London as the choir of Westminster Abbey and the choir of His Majesty's Chapel Royal, St James's Palace, sing Psalm 139. The service was attended by members of the Royal Family.


The Queen's Lying in State has begun as mourners file through Westminster Hall to view her coffin.

Overnight, rehearsals took place for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, which will take place on Monday 19th September. Guards, officials and members of the Armed Forces have been seen processing past Buckingham Palace, through Parliament Square and over to Westminster Abbey where the service will take place.


Later, the former Prime Minister Theresa May and her husband Philip May, joined the Westminster Hall queues to pay her respects to the late Queen who is lying-in-state.
