The King and his two sons reunited to walk behind the Queen's coffin as she left Buckingham Palace for the last time.
King Charles, the Prince of Wales and Duke of Sussex accompanied the monarch on the journey to Westminster Hall for her lying in state.
They appeared solemn as they walked behind the coffin, which was wheeled along The Mall on a gun carriage.

A crown was placed on a purple cushion on top of the coffin in front of a wreath made of pine and lavender, featuring white roses, spray white roses and white dahlias.
Crowds of mourners applauded as the Queen's coffin and the procession moved past them.
William stared straight ahead as he walked directly behind his father, the King, in keeping with his place as the heir to the throne.
The King and his children were joined by the Duke of York, the Princess Royal and the Earl of Wessex, as well as Anne's son Peter Phillips, her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the Duke of Gloucester and the Earl of Snowdon.
The Queen Consort, Princess of Wales, Countess of Wessex and Duchess of Sussex travelled by car.
The procession left the palace at 2.22pm and arrived at Westminster Hall at 3pm.
Big Ben tolled at one-minute intervals as the procession made its way to the Palace of Westminster.
The Queen's coffin was then placed on the catafalque in Westminster Hall to lie in state until her funeral on Monday.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, accompanied by the Dean of Westminster, led the service to the Queen.
The senior royals stood in formation facing the coffin during the service, which was flanked with a tall yellow flickering candle at each corner of the platform.
The King and Queen Consort stood together around a metre apart, with the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence behind them, then the Duke of York alone, and the Earl and Countess of Wessex in the next row.
Behind them were the Prince and Princess of Wales, with the Duke of Sussex behind William and the Duchess of Sussex directly behind Kate.
Cries of "God save the King" were heard as the King and Queen Consort left Westminster Hall, followed by royal couples leaving side by side.
William and Harry have a well-documented troubled relationship, but after the death of their grandmother, they and their wives came together to view flowers left for the Queen outside Windsor Castle.

In Harry's tribute to his grandmother, he said he wanted to honour his father at the start of his reign as King.
The last time King Charles and his sons were seen together in public was at the service of thanksgiving for the Queen in St Paul's Cathedral during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June.
Mourners had begun to queue in their thousands from the morning to attend the Queen's lying in state, which begins at 5pm and will continue to 6.30am on Monday - the day of the Queen's funeral.
The government has warned the queue is expected to be very long, with people standing for "many hours, possibly overnight," with little opportunity to sit down.
