Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle welcomes the King and the Queen Consort.

He says the loss of the Queen is felt around the world, the UK and the entire Commonwealth - “which she did so much to nurture.”

Newspapers have been filled with photographs of the Queen, but the most touching have been those showing family life, he says.

“Deep as our grief is, we know yours is deeper,” he tells the King.

The Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, is now offering condolences on behalf of MPs.

He goes on to give a "humble address" from the Lords and offer sympathy to the royal couple.

Lord McFall of Alcluith says he welcomes the King and Queen Consort to Parliament today on a solemn occasion.

He says Queen Elizabeth II was both "a leader to and a servant of the people".

Her humility and integrity commanded the respect and captured the imagination of peoples and nations across the globe, he says.

He said it had been hard to contemplate the her "reign of deep and unparcelled devotion" would ever come to an end. "But it has ended." he says.

He echoes the King's words that "we all feel a sense of loss beyond measure".

But her says her qualities remain to inspire the King and all his subjects and remembers her "commitment, kindness, humour and courage, as well as the deep faith that was the anchor in her life".

Yesterday, the eyes of the world were on Scotland’s capital as her coffin made its way down the cobble streets of the Royal Mile to the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

Today, the first members of the public will be able to view the Queen’s coffin.

Members of the Royal Family will walk behind the coffin as it goes to St Giles' Cathedral for public view.

People are gathering already this morning, some are queuing for the Royal procession and others to get into St Giles’ Cathedral later.

Some members of the public have been here since last night.

Prince Harry has released a statement, paying tribute to his grandmother's "unwavering grace and dignity", which he says "remained true throughout her life and [is] now her everlasting legacy".

He recalls the words she spoke after the passing of her husband, Prince Philip: "Life, of course, consists of final partings as well as first meetings."

Addressing the Queen directly, he writes:

"I cherish these times shared with you, and the many other special moments in between. You are already sorely missed, not just by us, but by the world over. And as it comes to first meetings, we now honour my father in his new role as King Charles III.

"Thank you for your commitment to service. Thank you for your sound advice. Thank you for your infectious smile.

"We, too, smile knowing that you and grandpa are reunited now, and both together in peace."

Both the Queen and the new King have long held a "deep and warm relationship" with Scots, Deputy First Minister for Scotland John Swinney tells the BBC.

He says watching the cortege yesterday was a “moment of enormous significance” and “people drew breath”.

Swinney adds that tomorrow will be the final chance for the people of Scotland to “pay dignified tribute” to Her Majesty, before the Queen's coffin is flown to London.

She will then begin her “significant and solemn journey”, he says, which will be the last time Her Majesty “will be on Scottish soil”.

On the question of independence, he reiterates his party’s argument that the monarch, now King Charles, should continue to reign as head of state over an independent Scotland.

All is peaceful and still at Balmoral Castle this morning with a rainbow framing the King's estate.

A heron, stock-still, is fishing in the River Dee. Weary police officers are waiting to be relieved after standing guard all night over the forest of flowers, now damp after Sunday's rain. There are now many thousands of tributes here.

I am the only reporter left. The cameras, the tents and the tripods have all moved on to Edinburgh as the focus of the nation shifts to Charles III and his reign.

But the tributes outside these imposing gates remain. Typical of the many was one which read: "Recognised, revered, remembered around the globe."
