Hundreds celebrate Queen's life in Edinburgh as mourners watch funeral on big screen

Hundreds of mourners who turned up to watch the Queen's funeral on a big screen in Edinburgh said the time for mourning was over - and the time for celebrating Her Majesty's life had begun.

The funeral was displayed in the beautiful setting of Holyrood Park, in the shadow of the Scottish Parliament and Arthur's Seat, on Monday morning. As people began to arrive shortly after 9am, the sun broke through the clouds as many pitched up with camping chairs and picnic blankets.

Despite the solemn occasion, there was almost a festival vibe in the capital, with ice cream vans and portaloos on site. But, as the funeral began at 11am, the crowd fell silent as mourners stayed glued to the screen.
