Scots have observed a minute of silence in remembrance of the Queen ahead of her state funeral in London tomorrow. An outdoor service was held in front of The Kelpies at the Queen Elizabeth II Canal’s pool of reflection.
And Scotland’s government observed a minute’s silence outside their HQ at St Andrews House in Edinburgh. At the Kelpies ninety-six lanterns, one for each year of the Queen’s life, were placed in the nearby canal before wreaths were laid led by mourners.
The service was conducted by The Very Reverend Martin Fair, a former Moderator of the Church of Scotland. Dr Fair described the Queen as a “servant-hearted” woman and said he is confident that she knew how much she was loved and respected across Scotland.
