Aberdeen (United Kingdom) (AFP) – Tens of thousands of mourners lined the route of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral cortege as it left the Scottish retreat where she died, to bid farewell to their longest serving monarch. The hearse carrying the 96-year-old’s oak coffin, draped in the Royal Standard of Scotland, was driven from the Balmoral estate through Aberdeen and Dundee to the capital Edinburgh, where the streets were packed with well-wishers.
