Queen's beloved daughter Princess Anne accompanies her mum's coffin on final journey

The Queen's beloved daughter Princess Anne is accompanying her mother's coffin as it starts its final journey through Scotland.

Shortly after 10am, a hearse carrying the Queen's coffin emerged through the gates of Balmoral, where Her Majesty died on Thursday aged 96. It was draped with the yellow Royal Standard of Scotland with a wreath of flowers made up from the Balmoral estate on top - including sweet peas. And following directly behind the hearse in the procession is a grief-stricken Anne, who is accompanied by her husband Admiral Sir Tim Laurence. Also in the convoy is Kenneth Mackenzie, the minister of Crathie Kirk, the church the royals attend when they staying in Balmoral, along with a representative of the Lord chamberlain’s Office.
