the funeral procession left Balmoral

Slowly and quietly, the coffin of the Queen left Balmoral (Scotland) on the morning of Sunday September 11, covered with a yellow flag adorned with a red lion, symbol of the monarchy in Scotland, and a crown of white flowers. Twenty kilometers away, in the village of Ballater (Scotland), the crowd is frozen. In this village where she liked to walk in all simplicity, the inhabitants often crossed her, accompanied by her butler, discreet and smiling.

So it was as neighbors that everyone came to say goodbye to him. Others have come from very far away. “We drove all night, took six hours to get here. This really is the place to be“, says a woman. The procession must cross the city of Aberdeen (Scotland), before reaching Edinburgh (Scotland) around 5 p.m., where the official residence of the crown in Scotland is located.
