The chief executive of Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland has said she is "hugely honoured and privileged" to be attending the Queen's state funeral.
Jane-Claire Judson will be part of the 2,000-strong congregation at Westminster Abbey on Monday. The Queen was patron of Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland for 70 years and had "a long association with the organisation" and the work it carries out.
Speaking to the PA news agency, Ms Judson said it was "extremely special and important" that the charity had been given a chance to pay its respects on behalf of all of its staff, volunteers and beneficiaries. She added that the Queen's "consistent support" was something that has been valued by the organisation.
