Queen Elizabeth II’s death in Scotland turns royal spotlight northward

Live Mint  

EDINBURGH : The death of Queen Elizabeth II at her summer residence at Balmoral Castle has given Scotland an outsize role in Britain’s plans to mourn the monarch. The queen’s journey back to London begins here Sunday, kicking off two days of elaborate ceremonies the sparsely populated nation would have missed had she died in England, where she spent most of her time. Royal officials said that the queen’s coffin, as of Saturday, was draped in Scotland’s royal banner in Balmoral Castle’s ballroom, to give the estate’s staff the chance to pay respects. On Monday afternoon, a hearse will carry the queen’s coffin through Edinburgh’s famous tourist area, along a hilly and cobblestoned boulevard known as the Royal Mile, to St. Giles’ Cathedral.
