Thousands of people are expected to view the coffin of King Richard III over the next three days while it is on public view at Leicester Cathedral.
The remains of the last Plantagenet king arrived at the cathedral on Sunday after a cortege carried his coffin through Leicestershire.
His skeleton was found under a car park in 2012.
The reburial ceremony, led by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, will be held on Thursday.
Richard, the last English king to die in battle, was killed at Bosworth Field in 1485, at the end of the Wars of the Roses.
After his death his body was taken to the Greyfriars Church in Leicester and buried in a hastily dug grave.
In the centuries since, Richard gained notoriety as Shakespeare's villain and the possible killer of the princes in the tower.
His grave's location became a mystery until it was found under a municipal car park in a discovery which stunned archaeologists and drew worldwide attention.
"The climax will come on Thursday when the Archbishop of Canterbury comes to join us - and the eyes of the world will be on us," the Bishop of Leicester, the Right Reverend Tim Stevens, said.
On Sunday, Richard's coffin left the University of Leicester where it had been kept since the discovery of his remains in 2012.
It was accompanied by the team who made the find to Fenn Lane Farm in the village of Dadlington, the site believed to be the closest to his death.
More than 35,000 people lined the route of the cortege as it travelled through Leicestershire and then back into the city for a service at the cathedral.
