The Queen seemed frail but in "really good spirits" according to the vicar who spent the monarch's last weekend with her.
The Rt Rev Dr Iain Greenshields, 68, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, stayed right by the Queen's side at Balmoral, after performing a sermon at Braemar and Crathie Parish Church.
He spoke of her having "demonstrated a life of selfless dedication" to her country and the wider Commonwealth, in a heartwarming tribute.
