The BBC joins mourners as they get the coach from Barnsley to London for the Queen's funeral.
As many slept in the early hours of Monday morning, some people were already heading from Yorkshire to London to watch the Queen's funeral. I joined them on what was a historic day for the country.
"We've no idea where we will get to stand but we've heard there will be big screens," Debbie says as she makes the personal pilgrimage to London. "We just wanted to pay our respects, me and Sophie were really emotional when she passed away."The coaches leave promptly at 05:30 BST. Dave Mills, who runs the coach company, says the phones started ringing as soon as Her Majesty's funeral was announced, with vehicle after vehicle filling up.
The atmosphere has been jovial rather than sombre so far, but I'm suddenly struck that the capital is so quiet you can hear the birds singing. Gone is the traffic hum, and even the helicopters are distant and soon disappear. There are no planes either.
