Crowds gather in droves in London, to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II as her coffin arrives at Buckingham Palace. On Wednesday, the queen's body will be borne on a horse-drawn gun carriage from her Buckingham Palace home to Westminster Hall where she will remain for four days until her funeral next week.
A number of London police have stepped back from firearms duties after a fellow officer was charged with murder over the fatal shooting of a young black man, a force spokesman said Sunday. Police in Britain are not routinely armed and the small proportion who are authorised to carry guns are highly trained.
