Members of the Royal Family have visited the scene at the gates of Balmoral where well-wishers have left flowers in memory of the Queen.
Three of the Queen’s four children – the Princess Royal, the Duke of York and Earl of Wessex have all been at Balmoral since Thursday. Also at the castle on Saturday were the Countess of Wessex, Anne’s husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, and the Queen’s grandchildren Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and Lady Louise Windsor.
They left Balmoral to attend a prayer service at the nearby Crathie Kirk church.
The Queen regularly visited the small church during her Balmoral stays. Hundreds of members of the public have lined the route from the gates to pay their respects.
Members of the royal family were seen nodding to members of the public as they walked up to Balmoral towards the gates. The crowd of well-wishers at Balmoral broke out into a round of applause as the royal family waved to them.
The family spent just under 10 minutes intently reading the tributes and admiring the flowers before they returned inside Balmoral Castle.
The family stopped to look at the flowers and read tributes, while Princess Eugenie was seen laying a bunch of flowers with the rest of the tributes.
The Duke of York at one moment was seen putting his arm around his daughter, Princess Eugenie, as she wiped a tear from her eyes.
