An Edinburgh councillor has hit out after a primary school within his ward was closed during the aftermath of the Queen's death despite access to the school being "possible".
Greens Councillor Alex Staniforth, who represents the Craigentinny and Duddingston ward, put the question to fellow councillors during a meeting on Thursday, September 22.
Staniforth queried why Abbeyhill Primary School was closed to pupils on September 12 and 13, the days that the Queen's coffin was taken from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to St Giles' Cathedral, where mile-long queues gathered to gain access.
