WHAT did Her Majesty the Queen mean to you?
We would love to hear your personal stories about Queen Elizabeth II.
Did you get to meet her? Where did you see her?
And what are your emotions and feelings since her passing last Thursday at Balmoral.
Two of our online readers who have reacted to some of the stories at www.northern-scot.co.uk in the last few days were David Hay and Rosalind Banks.
David, who lives in Portlethen, was intrigued by the Proclamation ceremony in Moray and said: "As a young loon, my father and me watched the proclamation for Elizabeth II being read out from the Muckle Cross."
And Rosalind, who lives in Musselburgh, but is originally from Portgordon, responded after seeing pictures of The Queen's visit to Moray in 1961.
"I was just talking about this to my daughter tonightt, I was only six at the time but remember it well. First I saw her in Portgordon my home village. Then John Barron and his wife brought us to Grantown on Spey where we saw them again. It was a great day.
"I have seen her a few times and our now King which was associated with the Gordon Highlander’s and my brother."
We would like to share your thoughts and memories.
The Queen's coffin has been lying in state at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh for the last 24 hours, with thousands of people travelling to the capital to pay their final respects. Were you one of them?
Her coffin will be flown to London later today where it will lie in state at Westminster for four days before her funeral on Monday, September 19.
