And she laid the flowers over there. "It was quite emotional to be honest. I'm trying to hold it in. I just thought it was the best thing.

I wasn't expecting Sophie to come over. " Another woman spoke about how Sophie - who is married to the Queen’s youngest son Prince Edward, 58, with whom she has daughter Lady Louise, 18, and James, Viscount Severn, 14 - took the time to express her gratitude to their farewell to Her Majesty.
