GALLERY: Aboyne mourns the loss of Queen Elizabeth II after 70 years of service

Queen Elizabeth II Aboyne
The Queen's Procession as it passes through Aboyne.
By Chris Cromar and Jason Hedges

Crowds gathered by the A93 Aboyne to Aberdeen road as Her Majesty made her final journey through both Royal Deeside and Aberdeenshire.

As the cortege went by, mourners stood and watched, paying tribute to the Queen, who spent 70 years on the throne, the longest in UK history.

People stood on the village green to watch the cortege through the village on its way south to Aberdeen, with onlookers looking remorseful as the car passed.
