SPECIAL REPORT: Procession of Queen Elizabeth's coffin from the Palace of Holyroodhouse into St Giles' Cathedral | Watch Live
LONDON --
Charles and Camilla got out of their car at Holyroodhouse and greeted people, and looked at floral tributes before a gun salute boomed from Edinburgh Castle. A trumpet fanfare greeted the king and Camilla as they entered the hall, which was packed with hundreds of legislators. The ceremony was held in Westminster Hall because monarchs are not allowed inside the House of Commons. That rule dates from the 17th century, when King Charles I tried to enter and arrest lawmakers. That confrontation between crown and Parliament led to a civil war which ended with the king being beheaded in 1649.
