In addition, the couple viewed floral tributes to the Queen that had been laid outside the gates of the Palace before walking through the famous gates for the first time as King and Queen Consort.

The period of royal mourning will be observed from now until seven days after the Queen’s funeral, the date of which will be confirmed at a later date, Buckingham Palace said.
Shortly before the King and his wife landed in London, a 96 Queen’s Death Gun Salute had fired out across the United Kingdom, Gibraltar and Guernsey at 1pm in tribute to the Queen. One round was fired for each year of the her life, the crowd in Hyde Park applauding as the final of 96 rounds were fired.
