history. crowds are still gathered five and six deep on the royal mile. i think she would have liked her sendoff from scotland with the ghillies and gamekeepers and the warmth of the farewell from all over the country and other parts of the uk who have travelled here to pay their respects. the poet laureate simon armitage writes poignantly in his tribute to the queen, "evening has come, rain on the black locks and dark monroes". the king�*s bodyguard in scotland, the royal company vouchers, and stood vigil over the coffin since it arrived at st giles�* and they also stood guard during the lying in state at westminster hall of queen elizabeth the queen mother because of her scottish lineage. well, while we watched these pictures, let�*s talk to two of my guests who are here with me this afternoon, the reverend scott rennie, a church of scotland
4:06 pm
minister and robert hardman from the daily mail, the author of a new biography of the queen. good afternoon to both of you. your reflections over the past 2a hours. what have you made of it? i reflections over the past 24 hours. what have you made of it?- what have you made of it? i have felt heartand _ what have you made of it? i have felt heartand by _ what have you made of it? i have felt heartand by the _ what have you made of it? i have felt heartand by the farewell - what have you made of it? i have felt heartand by the farewell that| felt heartand by the farewell that the queen has had from the people of scotland. i have to say i am not in the least bit surprised about the number of crowds. 0bviously, the least bit surprised about the number of crowds. obviously, there will be many more who are disappointed at not being able to see her lying in state at the high kirk of edinburgh, st giles�* but i am not surprised at the warmth of the farewell. for those of us who have known the queen as part of public life in scotland, it comes as no surprise to me. 0ver public life in scotland, it comes as no surprise to me. over the last 2a hours, i have heard many people say she visited scotland. i have to say, as someone from aberdeenshire, the north—east of scotland, i never thought about her late majesty the queen or indeed the new king as
4:07 pm
visitors. they are very much, they belong to us, they are part of our family, obviously, one is respectful to them because they are the royal family but i have never thought of them as visitors, always part of the community and that is why i think she is receiving the sendoff that frankly she more than deserves. it frankly she more than deserves. it is very poignant, isn't it, that she is very poignant, isn�*t it, that she has been able to spend this extra time with the people of scotland? yes, and who knows if that is what you would have wanted? we will never —— that is what she would have wanted? we will never know, perhaps but certainly balmoral and aberdeenshire were places that very much felt like home to her. and certainly those of us from that part of the world feel very fortunate to have had her notjust as a monarch but as one of us, if you like, in a different kind of way but nevertheless part of the community. personally, i think there is something fitting that she finished her days at balmoral. i imagine it
4:08 pm
is a place where away from the glare of public attention, she could very much be herself, with herfamily being themselves, and that is i think what all of us would have wanted for her in her last day. robert, we have seen some very touching moments over the past 2a hours and you are at the service yesterday? i hours and you are at the service yesterday?— hours and you are at the service yesterday? iwas, i have been in scotland since _ yesterday? iwas, i have been in scotland since the _ yesterday? iwas, i have been in scotland since the weekend - yesterday? iwas, i have been in scotland since the weekend and | yesterday? i was, i have been in - scotland since the weekend and was incredibly— scotland since the weekend and was incredibly touched by the reaction there~ _ incredibly touched by the reaction there the — incredibly touched by the reaction there. the minister says, we don't know_ there. the minister says, we don't know if_ there. the minister says, we don't know if it — there. the minister says, we don't know if it is — there. the minister says, we don't know if it is what she would have wanted _ know if it is what she would have wanted but i think it is exactly what — wanted but i think it is exactly what she _ wanted but i think it is exactly what she would have wanted, it is the most — what she would have wanted, it is the most wonderful sendoff. she is the most wonderful sendoff. she is the first— the most wonderful sendoff. she is the first british monarch who has ever passed away in scotland so these _ ever passed away in scotland so these are — ever passed away in scotland so these are unprecedented scenes, this has never— these are unprecedented scenes, this has never happened before, no monarch— has never happened before, no monarch has had this kind of tribute and to— monarch has had this kind of tribute and to see _ monarch has had this kind of tribute and to see the coffin coming through the gtehs _ and to see the coffin coming through the glens and the big cities, to see the glens and the big cities, to see the reaction in edinburgh yesterday, to be _ the reaction in edinburgh yesterday, to be in_ the reaction in edinburgh yesterday, to be in the — the reaction in edinburgh yesterday, to be in the cathedral, i mean, scotland — to be in the cathedral, i mean, scotland has set a very high benchmark for what is to come. and also, the vigil _ benchmark for what is to come. fific also, the vigil by her children was quite a moment, for ten minutes, they stood there, the four of them,

4:10 pm
be there to show their respects. let�*s go back to her as we wait for the queen�*s coffin to be brought out of st giles�* cathedral. first of all, i talked to people when they came out because they had no idea when they went in that they were going to have as it were the royal family standing guard with their backs to the queen�*s coffin. they said that it was a moment in their lives that will be very special to them. it was a moment of contemplation and a moment of unity. they had come from all over. i think a lot of people came to scotland hoping they would be able to file past and see the queen here, thinking that crowds would be so great so a lot of people from northumberland and yorkshire and places like that, made theirjourney to edinburgh. and when the queen actually departs st giles�*, the royal banner of the royal arms of scotland will remain straight on the queen�*s coffin while the crown of scotland, the oldest crown jewels in the united kingdom, used in the coronation of mary queen of scots in
4:11 pm
15a3, they will be returned to the crown room at edinburgh castle. the cortege, when it leaves, will go up past edinburgh castle, down towards queensferry, to edinburgh airport and then she is going to travel by air on an raf flight to northolt and thence to buckingham palace but i think one of the most interesting things about this is that it is a very sad and solemn occasion in one way but people have been so engaged in seeing things like the company of archers, the former bodyguard of the monarch in scotland. you saw outside st giles�*, waiting for the princess royal to come, richard, st giles�*, waiting for the princess royalto come, richard, duke st giles�*, waiting for the princess royal to come, richard, duke of buccleuch and queensbury, the captain general of the company of archers. it was lovely because it was the first time for a little while we had heard the pipes, which came down from edinburgh castle and it reminded us that when queen victoria was in residence at balmoral, she liked to have the pipes every morning at 9am, for 15
4:12 pm
minutes and i don�*t know if it was true every morning but apparently the green light to do the same. she likes to have the pipes to greet her. —— the queen liked to do the same. and of course, the way balmoral sits, same. and of course, the way balmoralsits, it same. and of course, the way balmoral sits, it is in a beautiful area and you can imagine the pipes echoing around. people here have really appreciated understanding more about scotland�*s history, i think, throughout what is after all a very sad time. they are very quiet and respectful at the moment. we can see wonderful shots of the crowd, kirsty. we can see wonderful shots of the crowd. kirsty-— robert, it is fantastic to see so many people out there, isn�*t it, lining the streets as they have been for so many hours. this lining the streets as they have been for so many hours.— lining the streets as they have been for so many hours. as ever, there is the r0 al for so many hours. as ever, there is the royal mile _ for so many hours. as ever, there is the royal mile again, _ for so many hours. as ever, there is the royal mile again, they - for so many hours. as ever, there is the royal mile again, they are - for so many hours. as ever, there is the royal mile again, they are 20 i the royal mile again, they are 20 deed _ the royal mile again, they are 20 deed i_ the royal mile again, they are 20 deep. i was trying to get through the crowd — deep. i was trying to get through the crowd yesterday and it was almost — the crowd yesterday and it was almost impossible at times. it is not, _ almost impossible at times. it is
