you encounter the people coming to say farewell to the queen, is that something on their mind, the referendum, a possible referendum down the road, or more about paying their respects to queen elizabeth? i think what the emotions we saw being stirred today, i think they were definitely more human than political emotions. i think it s fair to say. when i asked many scots here and those in balmoral, of course, that know the king so well, many said they were worried that perhaps this might be a time to push, of course, push further for independence, but hoping, of course, the king s ties to balmoral and to scotland remain and that, of course, that he like his mother, who was the glue and the cement, john, that held this country together, that he will continue that.
queen s father and you can see black and white pictures in film of that ceremony and you ll see things that look a little like this. but, of course, this was in scotland. now, the queen died in scotland in her beloved balmoral, but also she loved scotland. and she will be watching this wherever she is. and she will be really loving to see the country that was at the center of her heart have the opportunity to say good-bye like this and you just saw those streets lined with people coming out in their thousands. a very personal moment. it s amazing, isn t it, the way you can watch it on television, but to be there personally is a different experience and all of those people wanting that old-fashioned experience to say good-bye to their queen and to see their new king, as you mentioned charles and his sisters and brothers walk behind it. kelly, what is it like in
1979. to open the magnum center. i was one of hundreds lining the streets with my mum, and by luck, we ended up close to her car as it passed by. 9-year-old me was absolutely convinced i had caught her eye. that 9-year-old girl could not have imagined more than 35 years later being in the front passenger seat of another car, this time with the queen at the wheel, driving through the balmoral estate. in recent days, other leaders have shared stories from balmoral, of barbecues cooked by prince philip, as the queen laid the table. these are memories i treasure, too. special times in what was clearly their happy place. i did, however, experience one rather tense moment at balmoral.
condolence and attend the scottish parliament. richard quest and isa soares. isa, let me start with you. you re on the royal mile. you have seen this remarkable scene of the scottish people coming to say farewell to their beloved queen. indeed, and it has been incredibly emotional. and really moving tributes we have seen, very poignant, of course, said so many people. scots, to me today, that the queen who had a deep love and affection for scots and who had those strong ties to scotland, that many ways that she died in scotland, her beloved balmoral and many scots here today were incredibly proud of what they saw today, but moved by the scenes. scenes of silence, of respect, solemnity. this is something that moved a lot of people, many of whom weren t able to talk to me, and what we re expecting is of course the queen s coffin to lie
private policeman who and they all resolve around balmoral, meeting american tourists by chance who didn t recognize her, just going spontaneously off onto the estate to have a picnic. that s the kind of thing that doesn t happen to the queen in her regular life. and it s no surprise that she found that place for esthetic reasons, privacy reasons, particularly a place that she and her family just love to go and she in particular loved to go to. and as i said a moment ago, king charles is on his way to scottish parliament to meet with nicola sturgeon and to give his reply or his address to scottish parliament. we are also going to see him back here a little bit later for the vigil of princes where he will stand vigil and we will also for the very first time, daisy, see the public, the british public, the scottish public, get a chance to go in there and pay their individual respects.
