    She was the first monarch to die in Scotland since James V in the 1500s. Scotland may not be as fond of the monarchy as England is, but we were still saddened by her passing. Balmoral Castle was her favourite place in the world and it makes me glad that she died peacefully in a place that she loved, where she could relax and unwind and not be bothered by being the queen. Scotland shall likely never know another queen.
    Goodbye, Your Majesty.

      She did indeed love Scotland and - on a lighter note - chose to spend her holidays there during the months when many Scots go abroad for hot, dry weather! Some Scots have questioned the Queen's “Scottishness” but in fact she is related to Mary Queen of Scots via Henry VIII's sister Queen Margaret of Scotland, grandmother of Mary. Queen Margaret (Tudor) was the mother of Mary's father James V (1512-1542), whose crown was placed on the Queen's coffin on Monday afternoon during this service by the Duke of Hamilton
      Furthermore, according to National Records of Scotland, the Queen’s parents shared Robert II King of Scots as a common ancestor.
      Through her mother’s family, the Bowes-Lyons, Earls of Strathmore, she could trace her ancestry back through generations of Scottish nobility to Sir John Lyon, Thane of Glamis, who married Robert II’s daughter in the fourteenth century.

Exactly what is needed at such a time of deep sadness, and remembrance of such a great queen. Without question, Bruce is the best royal occasion commentor since Richard Dimbleby.

      to be fair our late Queen was was the only Queen in our life's, it is hard to claim she is the greatest as although its been 122 yeas since our last reigning Queen, our late Queen Elizabeth's Gr Gr grandmother, Queen Victoria who until our late Queen was the longest ruling monarch. HM Queen Victoria i think could equally be considered Britain's greatest Queen Both queens were without doubt the best monarchs to reign in Britain. Both Queens loved Scotland and her people and identified with the Scots, as does HM King Charles III something previous and i suspect future monarchs have not and possibly will not. WE must not forget the other British Queen and indeed the very first monarch of Great Britain, HM Queen Anne 1707-1714, last of the Stuarts to reign who has been unfairly overlooked by history yet during her reign Britain was established and became a leading power within the European context. It was however under HM Queen Victoria that the British Empire began and lasted well over 100 years or so, which encompassed a quarter of the world. It is rather ironic that Kings are often accredited for their achievements etc but the Queens who ruled in their own right often sidelined but in reality the Queens were far better monarchs.
