“It’s important to remember that The Queen was also a much-loved mother, grandmother and great grandmother, so the Royal Family are very much in our thoughts and prayers at this poignant time.”
West Lothian’s Lord-Lieutenant, Moira Niven MBE, added: “Her Majesty led an extraordinary life and I’d like to extend my sympathy to the entire Royal Family at this very sad time.
“It is impossible to put into words the impact that Her Majesty has had on shaping our great country.
