Prince William finally gets Herefordshire mansion that King Charles III built for him

All eight of Queen Elizabeth II's grandchildren stood in silent vigil beside her coffin early on Saturday evening.

William, the heir to the throne, stood, his head bowed, at the head of the coffin and Harry at the foot, both wearing military uniforms.

King Charles III was also seen making an unannounced visit to greet people waiting to file past Queen Elizabeth's coffin.

Tens of thousands have queued for hours, including through the night, to file past her coffin and pay their respects.

US President Joe Biden also headed to the UK to pay his respects to Queen Elizabeth II at a time of transition in US-UK relations.

State heads and dignitaries from around the world are expected to arrive in London over the weekend.

King Charles will also overlook the preparations and check the plans ahead of the Queen's state funeral.

Hundreds of troops from the British army, air force, and navy have taken part in the first full rehearsal of the Queen's funeral.

The Queen's coffin was adorned with a Royal Standard and the Imperial State Crown, and pulled by a Gun Carriage of The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery.
