Stirling’s public figures have paid tribute to HM Queen Elizabeth II.
Following the passing of the late monarch last week, warm eulogies have honoured Britain’s longest-serving sovereign.
Mid Scotland and Fife MSP Alexander Stewart said he has “deep admiration” for the Queen, including her tireless work and service. Mr Stewart said: “I had the pleasure of meeting her on a number of occasions but the pinnacle of all these opportunities was receiving my MBE from Her Majesty at Holyrood Palace in 2016, and I shall never forget our brief but highly entertaining conversation.
