Queen’s coffin lying in rest at St Giles’ Cathedral
The commemorations for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth continue, as her coffin lays in rest at St Giles’ Cathedral in Scotland
Members of the public are now able to file past to pay their respects, with many mourners bursting into tears as they do so.
It follows King Charles III leading a vigil alongside his siblings, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
The symbolic service saw the Queen’s four children surround her coffin to stand guard for a short time.
Earlier in the day, Charles addressed U.K. parliament for the first time as King, at Westminster Hall.
He paid tribute to his mother, as the Speakers of the Commons and Lords gave their formal condolences.
Charles described parliament as the “living and breathing instrument” of Britain’s democracy, vowing to follow the Queen’s “selfless duty” during his reign.
During this event, Charles was visibly moved as ‘God Save the King’ was sung out by those in attendance.
Charles also addressed the Scottish Parliament for the first time as monarch.
Joined by his wife, Queen Consort Camilla, the event allows motion Members of the Scottish Parliament to reflect on the Queen’s life of “exceptional public service”.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon recounted her fond memories of Queen Elizabeth II.
Like his mother, Charles says he has the greatest sense of admiration for the Scottish people.
So what’s next?
Following the Vigil, the Queen’s coffin will rest at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh until 5:00 PM local time on Tuesday.
It will then be transported from Edinburgh to the city’s airport, before it is flown to west London.
Princess Anne will accompany her mother, as the coffin makes its way to Buckingham Palace.
Here it will be met by King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort.
Up until that point, the King and Queen Consort will continue their tour of the nations by visiting Belfast, before travelling to London.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
