Queen Elizabeth II has left the capital for the final time - but the city remains in mourning for "a relentless and gentle force for peace and good will", Edinburgh's Lord Provost has said.
Councillors gathered for a special meeting on Friday (September 16) to pay tribute to the late monarch who died at Balmoral last week.
In the chamber members took the opportunity to reflect on their memories of meeting the Queen, honour her life-long links with Edinburgh - and to thank council staff for their role in ceremonial events hosted by the city over the last week.
