King Charles III heads to Wales Friday for the last of his visits to the four nations of the United Kingdom as preparations for the queen's state funeral gather pace.
With queues to view the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II lying in state reaching over four miles long, Charles and his three siblings -- Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward -- were due to hold a family vigil in front of the coffin.
Charles, until last week the longest-serving Prince of Wales in history, was due to fly by helicopter to Cardiff early on Friday. A private burial will follow attended only by members of the royal family in which the queen will be laid to rest alongside her late husband Philip, parents and sister. The casket is draped in the Royal Standard flag, with the Imperial State Crown, her ceremonial Orb and Sceptre on top, with tall, flickering candles at each corner.
Mourners have marked their moment in front of the coffin in various ways, from bows or curtsies to the sign of the cross or by simply removing their hats.
