Books of condolence will be opened at Rosslyn Chapel and Crichton Collegiate Church in Midlothian as the country pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.
Midlothian Council has opened books in council buildings as well as the two historic churches to give as many people as possible the chance to pay their respects.
Flags across the county flew at half mast today as civic leaders and politicians paid their respects to the Queen and remembered her most recent visit to Midlothian when she and the Duke of Edinburgh opened Newtongrange Train Station in 2015.
