A massive well done to your company. You did a significant and professional role with total respect. For the sign on the car, that did not matter, it was who you were carrying that mattered. Our Queen Elizabeth would have been so proud of you all.

They did a fabulous job. Why shouldn’t they have the hearse branded? Business is business.

Queen’s death unlikely to change support for Scottish independence says Professor Sir John Curtice

She was the glue sticking the UK together, or so I've read. King Charles hasn't anything like the connection the Queen had, as evidenced by her desire to be at Balmoral, so I think only time will tell. But it's not looking good, UK.

If the vote remains the same as 2014, Scotland will remain in the UK. But will the SNP accept it? I think not, they will want an other referendum, that's for sure.
Ronnie Murphy
The Scottish people loved and respected Queen Elizabeth, King Charles not so much if at all.

I think we all saw the silent majority coming out to pay their respects to the Queen, so I firmly think the Union is even more secure now than before her passing. The Scots paying tribute are certainly not going to try to break up the land that she loved.
David Maclennan
Plus, how many countries was the Queen, and now Charles, head of state in?
