The people of Falkirk have been paying tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II following her death yesterday (Thursday) at her beloved Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire.
Many will remember her visits to the district over the years as she helped to mark some of the the biggest moments in Falkirk' s civic life, including the opening of the Mariner Centre in 1985, the Falkirk Wheel in 2002 and the new Forth Valley Royal Hospital in 2011.
Her most recent visit was in 2017 when she and the Duke of Edinburgh visited the Kelpies and opened the Queen Elizabeth II canal.
