The king and queen were due to visit Wales on Friday.
After a service at Llandaff cathedral, they went to the Welsh parliament and the castle.
The United Kingdom is made up of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The queen will be in state for a while.
The queen’s coffin can be viewed for 24 hours a day from Wednesday to Monday.
People will see what they see.
The coffin is adorned with royal regalia including the orb, sceptre and bejewelled Imperial State Crown, which was worn by the queen for her 1953 coronation.
A raised platform is used to place the coffin in the center of the hall. Royal guards wearing plumed hats and ceremonial uniforms will be standing at each corner of the platform.
The coffin in Scotland was adorned with a wreath of white flowers and the crown of Scotland.
There is a lead-lined Coffin.
Experts say that the queen’s coffin is made of English oak and lined with lead.
The manager of the Coffin Works museum said that the former Prime Minister, Prince Philip and Princess Diana had their coffins made for them.
She said it’s about slowing down the process of decomposition and preserving the body. The queen’s coffin will be placed in a church rather than in the ground, she said.
The oak used in the coffin is from the royal family’s estate.
The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II will take place on September 19th. Everything we know is here.
The courtyard.
The public needs to join one of the waiting routes before they can enter the building. The main queue goes from the Albert Embankment to the Tate Modern and the Tower Bridge. People who need it can join the route from the museum.
The mourners were warned about the long waits. Venues along the way, including Shakespeare’s Globe, will open around the clock to provide refreshments and rest breaks, as well as hundreds of extra toilets and water fountains. There are security checks at the front of the line.

A 900-year-old building with an impressive timber roof lies in state. It was built in 1097 and is still standing.
