the mourning and i went to speak to some people and literally there was a ten metre section and i asked where people were from and the list was amazing. sweden, brazil, italy, new zealand, sri lanka, china, japan, singapore. closerto home, preston, devon, argyll. i asked japan, singapore. closerto home, preston, devon, argyll. iasked them what their statement to them and one man shouted i m here because she was elizabeth the great. i asked about the overriding emotion and they said they so appreciated her constancy. and soon they will witness the arrival of the coffin of elizabeth ii, elizabeth queen of scots here in scotland which will arrive to the west door of centiles above which is a beautiful modern stained glass window by an icelandic artist as a memorial of robert burns the national bard.
they are still here today in great numbers. some had been since six this morning and i spoke to the crowd, a section not longer than ten metres, and the roll call of where there were from was quite extraordinary new zealand, brazil, sri lanka, chicago and closer to home from preston, haddington, argyll and aberdeen. one shouted out to me she was elizabeth the great. when i asked them what their overriding sentiment was the word most often repeated was constancy . our scotland editorjames cook has been speaking to people who came to the royal mile to pay their respects. in the heart of edinburgh this afternoon, an ancient ritual in the modern age. this nation changed beyond measure in the time of elizabeth, and now there is a sense of a country at a crossroads. we ve lost a good leader, who served her country well, 96 years, and worked right up until two days before she passed. what do you think of the new king? i ve got mixed views on the king. i think he s got big shoes to fill
