The plane carrying King Charles III and the Queen Consort has flown over Morecambe on its way back to London.
Thousands of well-wishers tracked its journey from Aberdeen to the capital, during its journey between Aberdeen Airport and RAF Northolt.
The 73-year-old will hold his first audience with Prime Minister Liz Truss as King, before he addresses the nation on television at 6pm this evening.
The King stopped to greet crowds gathered outside Buckingham Palace as he arrived in London for the first time as monarch following the death of his mother.
The King will be proclaimed at the Accession Council at 10am tomorrow in the State Apartments of St James's Palace, Buckingham Palace has said - with the process televised for the first time in history.
Dressed in a black suit and tie, the grieving King left Balmoral this afternoon seated in the back of a car, with his wife in the front passenger seat, as they were driven to Aberdeen airport.
He stepped out carrying a bundle of papers and stopped to shake hands and spend time chatting to staff in the rain, before leaving on a plane bound for London.
The royal couple spent the night at Balmoral following the death of the 96-year-old monarch, who the King described as a "cherished sovereign and a much-loved mother".
