If anyone knows anyone involved in the tractor Guard of Honour, can they please let them know that I, and many other people I'm sure, thought
it was an amazingly beautiful gesture.

Don’t know anyone, but so glad my city & shire showed their best side today.

FlibbertyGiblets · 11/09/2022 19:45

It was very moving and apt. The farmers of Banchory should be proud of their tribute.

dementedma · 11/09/2022 19:45

I agree OP. Wonderfully moving. Thank you to all involved

There's an article on the press and journals fb about it, might be some names :) I can't see as I've used up my articles this month

rockbottombird · 11/09/2022 19:46

Loved it.! 🥰

LoveLarry · 11/09/2022 19:47

I'm hard as nails but that made me well up

ProperVexed · 11/09/2022 19:49

I thought it was lovely. It's all the little things that make me proud ( and cry!)

RozTheSchnoz · 11/09/2022 19:49

I sobbed seeing this!

It was what set me off too!
I see on twitter two young lads played Amazing Grace on the bagpipes as she passed. Just stunning.

There was loads of horses too, if you're on FB they were on shiteventersunite who have been paying fabulous tributes to HM for the last few days as the ultimate horse girl. Loads of Scottish horsey folk lined the route. I think she would have approved

QueenWatevraWaNabi · 11/09/2022 20:25

All about the tractors for me too 🥲

lollipoprainbow · 11/09/2022 20:26

That and the horses finished me off 😢

Trulyweird1 · 11/09/2022 20:48

Have a look at Fubar News on FB - it gives more details about the farmers involved in the tribute.

Lovely 😊

mapleleavesreturn · 11/09/2022 20:53

Beautiful.

PeterPomegranate · 11/09/2022 20:54

I thought it was a lovely thing to do.

Loveatortie · 11/09/2022 20:55

I was fine with the tractors,thought it was lovely. Found the horses a lovely tribute. The commentators and the corgis sent me over the edge. It was lovely to watch the cortege, some stunning scenery and beautiful Edinburgh.

bellac11 · 11/09/2022 20:55

This and the horses

Plus the lone piper in St Pauls the other day

DramaAlpaca · 11/09/2022 20:55

That was fabulous.

RainbowConnection1 · 11/09/2022 20:57

It was Princess Anne's deep curtesy that me.

This too.

It's often the small gestures that have the deepest impact.

Totally agree Op - the tractors were a beautiful respectful gesture.

Also loved the horses. Thank you to everyone involved.
