The Lord Provost of Aberdeen Dr David Cameron in his role as The Queen’s Lord-Lieutenant laid a wreath in tribute to Her Majesty today.
The flowers are a mixture of roses, freesias, and delphiniums and the dominant colour is Royal purple mixed with pinks and greenery.
Lord-Lieutenant David Cameron also looked at the bouquets already laid on the grassy area at the city’s flagpole on Broad Street beside Marischal College and read some of the messages on the sad occasion.
He said: “I was honoured to lay a wreath today on behalf of the City of Aberdeen s it represents not only residents who live in the city but those who moved away and still consider the North-east home.
“The death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be keenly felt by many people in the city through her connections to the city with visits over the decades, businesses connected to serving Balmoral, or via Royal Deeside.
“The messages on the floral bouquets laid beside the city’s flagpole were lovely to read and were a mixture of personal memories and tributes to someone who faithfully served her people and her country until the end.”
