Tuesday marks D-Day +4, or D+4, in the plans marking the Queen’s death.
This is due to the announcement taking place late on Thursday, meaning the schedule was moved back by one day to allow for complex arrangements to be put in place.
Here is the timeline of events expected to take place over the next 24 hours.
Tuesday September 13
The Queen’s coffin will be flown from Edinburgh to London.
