GALLERY: Ballater bids a tearful final farewell to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth II Ballater
The Queen's cortege passes through Ballater.

The Queen’s cortege passed through Ballater, a village that is synonymous with the royals and a place Her Majesty had a great affinity for.

Crowds gathered around the car as mourners got the chance to bid farewell to Britain’s longest-ever reigning monarch of 70 years.

Throughout the years, Her Majesty and members of the Royal Family made many visits to Ballater, including after the floods of 2016.
