Teary-eyed mourners turned out at Balmoral Castle after King Charles III left to travel to London following the death of the Queen.
Charles arrived at the Aberdeenshire estate with wife Camilla yesterday, after doctors expressed concerns for the Queen's health. He was joined by other immediate members of the Royal family later in the day.
Scores of people have come in and out of the entrance to Balmoral Estate via the bridge over the River Dee. Some have travelled by bus from the towns of Braemar and Ballater on either side of the estate, after Aberdeenshire Council laid on free shuttle buses to and from the site.
