From the Scots Guards:

It was an honour and a privilege to play a role in HM Queen Elizabeth II's funeral as it was to serve under her 70 year reign as Queen. The Scots Guards' contribution to the funeral allowed the Regiment to say our final 'Goodbye' and 'Thank You' to a monarch who gave us so much.
