morning to you as well. good morning. talk to us about the details this journey the queen it s been meticulously planned. yes, they always had a plan for if the queen were to die in scotland in balmoral. so it s not as if it was a surprise when it happened and they had to completely revise it. the original plan absolutely had a routine that would happen if she passed in scotland, and it is not incidental to the queen s life. balmoral is where she was probably her happiest. it s where she was her most private. and the route they ve chosen today allows several things to happen. firstly, maximum number of people to come and pay respects, coming through aberdeen and dundee. six hours. absolutely. it would only take a couple hours, few hours normal speed. we look back at diana when her core teblng went up in the middle of england, there were so many people dropping flowers from bridges and roads that the whole thing slowed down more than expected. secondly, they will lie at rest
edenboro with the latest. nic? reporter: pam, at about 10:00 a.m. local time on sunday, the queen s body will be taken by hoaearse, on a slow long dri, leaving balmoral, passing through the villages, arriving in the city of aberdeen, turning south, passing through stone haven, dundee, perth, before driving through the streets here in edinboro past the castle to t, which will be placed in the throne room, on monday taken by procession to st. charles cathedral, attended by the british prime minister, liz truss, later in the week, similar as mucservices in north
that manage the balmoral residence transporting the queen s coffin to a waiting hearse, an opportunity for those who have worked and lived and known the queen for decades to pay their final farewell. final respect of course to the queen. it will then begin a slow six-hour journey, more than 170 miles along different towns and big cities, making its way to the royal mile and where you are. first it will go past a tiny little village, picturesque village of ballater where myself and the crew have been staying and where so many people we have spoken to had wonderful stories to tell of not just the queen, bumping into the queen, seeing her on walks, even in the butcher shop and as well as king charles iii, wonderful stories. they will take the time of course to pay tribute, bow their heads and wait and line the streets as a sign of respect. it will then go past several of the big cities, a city of
place, which will be windsor which is where she will be laid to rest a week on monday. but i think what you re going to see today is some really powerful imagery of this hearse weaving through the magnificent scottish countryside and villages and towns and through the city of aberdeen. you re going to see people out on the streets just looking and being part of this moment of history. we have got cameras all along the route, there is a helicopter as well which will show aerial views but for some of the most poignant moments the helicopter is going to pull away and the reason we re doing that is so that the sound of helicopter isn t interrupting people and their moment with the former monarch. so through the towns you will see the helicopter pulling away and this is really an emphasis that whilst the media is important, the world needs to see this, this is an also an important pemoment for the peop of scotland to have their moment with the queen.
as well when they are in scotland, but this is about scotland and showing that they are very much a part of the previous monarchy but also the new monarchy, we will see that reflected when the king comes up to scotland tomorrow. six-hour journey to the scottish capital here. christiane amanpour, you were talking about how long this journey is going to take and richard mentioned that, you know, as they are in areas that are less populated it will be faster, but then when they get to more populated areas, dundee, aberdeen and so forth, we should expect to start seeing people who are making their way to this route, to the procession, just to watch and pay their respects. indeed, don. and as everybody watches it, either in real life if they can get there or on the television because as we are doing it s wall to wall on obviously all the british tvs and elsewhere,
