WATCH LIVE ABC NEWS SPECIAL REPORT: King Charles is set to lead a procession in Edinburgh in honor of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
King Charles arrived in Edinburgh on Monday to accompany his late mother's coffin on an emotion-charged procession through the historic heart of the Scottish capital to a cathedral where it will lie for 24 hours to allow the public to pay their last respects.
Earlier, in London, Charles received condolences at Parliament and told lawmakers he would follow his late mother's example of "selfless duty." A trumpet fanfare greeted the king and Camilla as they entered the hall, which was packed with hundreds of legislators. The ceremony was held in Westminster Hall because monarchs are not allowed inside the House of Commons. That rule dates from the 17th century, when King Charles I tried to enter and arrest lawmakers. That confrontation between crown and Parliament led to a civil war which ended with the king being beheaded in 1649.
