Earlier today King Charles III praised the Queen's service as he gave a historic address to MPs and Peers in Westminster Hall.
King Charles and Queen Camilla then headed to RAF Northolt from where they took off for Edinburgh ahead of an emotional procession today.
The journey was captured live by broadcast helicopters and footage on the BBC showed the moment one man decided to give chase after the motorcade as it passed.
Wearing a light-coloured top and blue trousers, the man was waiting at a crossing on the A40.
