Tilda is a descendant of Scottish royalty herself, as well as having known Diana personally, so this tribute is even more special in context. If anyone had the right to use the VIP queue, it was her. I've always been a fan and am a bigger one now! 
Beautiful! Love the length, love the clasp, love the pears. Absolutely, wear them and be happy.
A few days ago I mentioned I will be wearing my diamond and pearl brooch on Monday. I'm definitally wearing my earrings, too. I'm not sure about my strand of pearls. I have one that is not a full strand, I'll probably wear that. I don't want to over do it at the office.
It's my small token of a tribute to a lovely woman.
This was actually when the Queen was lying in state in Scotland, I don't believe there was a VIP queue there.
Thank you for posting this. I watched the Queen’s departure from Scotland and it was apparent that this aircraft was chosen for its utility rather than beauty, although as a Private Pilot I have to say that all aircraft are beautiful. It was the first week that my DIL was back teaching after the summer, and we watched the takeoff on the BBC on our big screen TV with our 2 year old grandson. I explained the taxi procedure, the preflight where the flaps were moved and tested, and the flashing red lights were lit. After the engines were started and it taxied to the runway, I had him listen to the engines spool up and the aircraft start down the runway and lift into the air. He watched in fascination then grabbed the only airplane we had in the house, a puzzle piece from his types of transportation vehicles puzzle, and began running around the room flying his airplane. We have since purchased a proper toy airplane for him, but I will never forget when his interest in aviation began. Blessings on Her Majesty The Queen.
