Isn t the case. add to the queen died in buckingham palace, windsor or sandringham, as herfather did in 1952, we wouldn t be in edinburgh today. given what we saw yesterday and the scenes today, and this wonderful service that they have organised, it would be a great shame to miss all of this, i think we can all agree. to miss all of this, i think we can allagree. my to miss all of this, i think we can all agree. my special guests, whom i would like to introduce, the historian and biographer of queen elizabeth ii, robert lacey, and the royal correspondent of vanity fair, katie nicholl, often with me on these occasions as well. you are both very welcome. the point i made, robert, about edinburgh and the fact that today wasn t a given, but given the queen s very strong bond with scotland and the scots, it is indeed a very good outcome in the sense of the way that this arrangement is playing out. the way that this arrangement is playing out- the way that this arrangement is playing out.
