My sister, who lives in Perthshire, watched the cortege pass through bringing Her Majesty from Balmoral to Edinburgh to lie in state. And my two nieces who live in Edinburgh are going to St Giles Cathedral to pay respects to the Queen there. However, there are very long queues, and one has to wait for hours to gain entry.
I feel very sad, as I remember watching HMs Coronation on a tiny black-and-white TV at a neighbour's house (No-one else had a TV then!). I also remember my mother explaining to me before then that she had just heard on the radio that King George VI had died. So long ago.
Elizabeth II served our country admirably for all those years, and never put a foot wrong. I second Bonzo, May she rest in peace.
