Just a short post here...
On 14th September, I had to go to Aberdeen for work and decided to return home via Balmoral, to take a look at the floral tributes that had been left for the late Queen.
It was a fairly dreary day, but what a cheery display of flowers, toys, balloons and pictures to celebrate Elizabeth II's life.
