Queen Elizabeth leaves Balmoral Castle for the last time



The Queen’s coffin has left Balmoral Castle bound for London where her state funeral will take place on 19 September.

The hearse stopped at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, where it will rest until Monday afternoon, when it will be moved to St Giles’ Cathedral.

  1. I do not like the royalty at all, however I do find myself( shockingly I might add), very sad.
    Maybe because the I never had a Gran, I don't know.
    But that Charles 3 ,he is already showing himself to be something of an arse.
    Good grief.

  2. I absolutely love Princes Ann. For some odd reason, I understand this kind of formality and the discipline of the senior royals. I think it;s very important. It's not out of fear. It's difficult to put into words. Very moving all of it.

  3. I come from a country colonised by the British for 400 years and live in UK's neighbouring country which still very much has hard feelings against the British. I do not consider myself as a Royalist but yet I had tears rolling down when I saw the flag being slowly lowered over the Buckingham palace last Thursday and had tears again when saw her hearse rolled out of Balmoral Castle….. for one last time. HM lived a fulfilling & a grandeur life, everyone knew this day was coming but yet at the end of the day apart from being Britain's Queen, HM is a mother, grandmother & great grandmother. As the new monarch said, "MAY FLIGHTS OF ANGELS SING THEE TO THY REST" Lilibet!!!!

  4. The Queen leaves not in a Rolls Royce or a Daimler , but a lousy German standard infernal machine , It would have been better to fly her off in a Heinkel Bomber . Why oh why wasnt the most important journey of her life made in all that was best in Great Britain and even as it was meticulously planned , somehow the German car made it over the Rolls Royce .

  5. Interesting to see the cross near the coffin and also on the crown. Cross is the symbol of the catholicism In essence this is a Catholic cerimony. It seems that the United Kingdom never abandoned the catholism.
