The Queen's body will leave Balmoral in a hearse today and be driven for six hours through Scotland to her residence in Edinburgh before being taken to London on Tuesday.
The cortege will leave Balmoral Castle, on the Aberdeenshire estate loved by Queen Elizabeth II, at 10am and head to the nearyby town of Ballater. It will travel through Aboyne, Banchory and Drumoak before arriving in Aberdeen, where a tribute will be heard.
There will be “overwhelming emotion” when the Queen’s coffin passes through the Aberdeenshire village of Ballater, where many local people knew her, the local minister has said.
