Large crowds were gathering this morning outside the gates of Holyrood Palace following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The mood was somber as around 400 milled around the monarch’s Edinburgh residence on the Royal Mile with the numbers growing each minute.
A long queue of people waited patiently in line to read the message posted to the gates yesterday confirming the Queen’s passing. Some simply read the short announcement in quiet reflection while others posed next to the historic document for a photo.
