Princes William and Harry stood together this evening alongside other members of the royal family to greet Queeh Elizabeth's coffin as it arrived at Buckingham Palace.
The brothers joined the new King and his Queen Consort, as well as their partners, including the Prince and Princess of Wales and Duke and Duchess of Sussex at the palace's entrance as the hearse arrived this evening.
The coffin travelled from Edinburgh to London today, where it arrived at RAF Northolt in north-west London just before 7pm. It was then driven to Buckingham Palace, where thousands lined the roads to pay their respects.

Princess Anne, who accompanied her mother's body back from Scotland, issued a touching tribute not long after their arrival. She reminisced on spending her mother's final 24 hours with her, and said it was an “honour and a privilege” to accompany her on her “final journeys”.
Mourners cheered and clapped as the hearse travelled down Constitution Hill and around the Queen Victoria Memorial before driving through the gates of the palace and through the central arch into the quadrangle.
The crowd cheered 'hip hip hooray' as the hearse was seen driving under the arch at Buckingham Palace, where Princes William and Harry and King Charles and the Queen Consort stood to greet it.
Many people lining the street put down their umbrellas as a sign of respect while some could be seen wiping tears from their eyes.
Princes William and Harry were previously pictured together with their partners at Windsor Castle just two days after their grandmother's death.
