The British monarch passed away on Thursday at the age of 96, just a few month after celebrating the Platinum jubilee of her reign. Her 73-year-old son Charles was officially proclaimed King on Saturday at St. James Palace.

Elizabeth II departs in her final journey on Sunday, as the coffin with the body of the late Queen embarks on a funeral procession through Scotland. Crowds of mourners are expected to line the streets to meet her cortege and say their goodbyes to the beloved monarch.

The procession kicks off at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, and will pass through Aberdeen and Dundee on the way to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and senior MPs will gather at Scotland's parliament to watch the Queen passing.

There, her body will rest at St Giles' Cathedral, for a 24-hour-long lying in state, before being flown to London on Tuesday.

Gibraltar Names Charles III New Sovereign at Solemn Ceremony

Gibraltar officially proclaimed Charles III its king at a pompous ceremony on Sunday that saw flags, flying at half-staff since the queen’s passing, raised temporarily to welcome the new sovereign.

David Steel, the governor of the British enclave on the southern tip of Spain, read out the proclamation at noon from the balcony of his official residence. It was followed by a chant of "God Save the King" and a salute.

"I, David George Steel … publish and proclaim that the Prince Charles Philip Arthur George is now, by the death of our late Sovereign of Happy Memory, become our only lawful and rightful Liege Lord Charles the Third … to whom we do acknowledge all faith and obedience with humble affection," he said.

Gibraltar, dubbed The Rock, canceled the traditional national day and entered a period of national mourning on Thursday following the news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who had ruled the United Kingdom and its realms for more than 70 years.
