[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Kim] The late Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom departed Balmoral Castle in the northeast of Scotland, where she stayed until the end, to begin her final journey to eternal rest.

The Queen's hearse left Balmoral Castle at 10 a.m. local time on the 11th and arrived at Edinburgh's Holyrood Palace, about 280 kilometers away, after a six-hour journey.

Thousands of citizens stood along both sides of the road, throwing flowers and handwritten letters toward the procession of seven funeral vehicles led by the hearse, bidding farewell to the Queen on her final path.

The Queen's body will be transported by air to Buckingham Palace in London on the 13th, then moved to Westminster Hall on the 14th, where it will be publicly displayed for four days until the day before the funeral.

Subsequently, on the 19th, which has been designated a public holiday, the Queen's state funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey.
