Huge crowds gathered in and around Edinburgh Waverley train station today as the Queen touched down in the capital for a week-long visit to Scotland.
Queen Elizabeth II, 95, was greeted by large crowds who were kept behind barriers and monitored by police and security as she arrived at the station today [June 28] for Royal Week.
One Edinburgh told how they had been ‘out for of a casual glass of wine’ at the nearby Wetherspoons pub when they managed to catch a video of the monarch waving at members of the public from her car window.
Footage showed a cheering crowd greeting Her Majesty as she made her way to a waiting car.
The Queen was later spotted in Cumbernauld with her grandson The Duke of Cambridge for a tour of the AG Barr's factory to see how Scotland’s iconic Irn Bru soft drink is made.
Prince William was even seen sipping on the bright orange liquid as the pair were given an overview of the history of the company.
While in Scotland, The Queen will be staying in Edinburgh at her official residence, the Palace of Holyrood House.
She is expected to be joined by her daughter, the Princess Royal for further engagements on Wednesday and Thursday.
The Queen usually hosts an annual garden party on Royal Week at Holyroodhouse, but due to current Covid rules, it will not take place this year.
