ABERDEENSHIRE, Scotland — People paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at the gates of her Balmoral residence where she died.
Despite the rain on Friday, mourners from all walks of life came to lay down flowers or simply say goodbye to the British monarch they loved and respected.
“I just wanted to say thank you to the Queen,” said Christy Asalor.
“She has been a symbol of strength and stability, she has been so selfless and she’s given herself, literally sacrificed her whole life serving us until two days before she passed and the least we could do is just say thank you.”
Other people said they were feeling a lot of sadness at the passing of the only queen they ever knew.
Queen Elizabeth II was the longest reigning British monarch, at 70 years of service.
