The streets in Banchory were filled with people. She whizzed passed. Lots of police presence since the early hours.

Glad I went out to see her go by.

Just took a video as they passed me. Then I clapped but I was away from the big crowd so not sure if they did as well

Nobody seemed to clap where I was. Quite a few folk taking videos, I didn't as I was trying to hold onto a excited wee bit with all the police cars and bikes.

Would like to pay our respects, will mean a trip to London but I don't think I'll get the time off work. My work colleague is moving this Friday and will take a week off, that will mean I have to work Friday when I don't normally.

Great western road was very busy. Glad I went and was a wee bit emotional as she went past

Very privileged to be able to pay my respects as the Queen passed over the King George V1 Bridge in Aberdeen. I wasn't the only one to shed a wee tear as she went by.

I have been watching bits on the TV - the camera zoomed in on a row of tractors 🚜 all lined up in a field along the route, this made me blub. They then showed a line of horses with their riders paying their respects - more tissues were required.

I can’t explain why I am so emotional 🥲 this has really knocked me for six.

I'm disappointed that her coffin will be flown to London rather than travelling by train. It would have given a lot more people a chance to pay their respects as not everyone can afford to travel to London for the lying in state.
