The woman singing brought it all together. Lovely show.

[@majensen70]

As an American who was stationed in Edzell, Scotland for 2 years I can easily understand why she wished to spend her last days there. I fell in love with Scotland - the people and scenery are both equally beautiful. I have always loved the bagpipes even before I had the privilege of living in Scotland.

I do believe she knew her time was coming to an end and chose to die in Scotland. She was concerned it would be a bit of a logistical burden, but it wasn't really. Scotland can take pride in the fact that she was the nation where The Queen (not a queen, The Queen) chose to pass away after a long, long life. I support an independent Scotland, but am still proud that we were the first to pay her tribute and see her to her rest.

[@Shadowkey392]

That’s…not very likely.

[@mj1946]

Scotland also held a vote whether to withdraw from the Kingdom after hundreds of years, but it didn’t pass.

[@johngrout6039]

My Scots friend who has emigrated to Australia thought the Scots were personally committed to Her Majesty and would keep her their Queen even if they created their own dominion (and, with the consent of HM, their own Realm). He was not nearly so positive about HM King Charles... he's not a Scot and HRH Prince William is majority English. Of all the Kings of England and the United Kingdom, the last one to be a majority English was Henry VIII's teenage son, and he never ruled.... he was under 18, and so he had a Regent... and he died before reaching his 18th birthday. His father had also had to wait to rule, but he reached his 18th birthday in robust health. Other monarchs were English queens, Scots, or foreigners like William (born Willem, the Stadtholder of Amsterdam) or the current line starting with HM King George I.

[@leisastalnaker3790]

I remember her funeral and the piper playing this as he walked out of the church and you heard it fade away. Still makes me cry to hear it.

[@1COMIXMAN]

I watched her funeral as they laid her in state a bagpiper walked through the chapel playing his pipes. It was sad. You may not liked the royal family but you gotta respect a funeral. Especially hers. She's been the queen since the 50s. She helped during WW2 as an ambulance driver and mechanic with the female armed forces. I cried as that piper walked through the halls of the church she was buried in.

[@melabec]

Not just any bagpiper, it was that bagpiper (not the actor but the one he is portraying).

[@bengreen6980]

"Yes Pipes, you" and " It's not a din, to me" epitomise Her Majesty in my mind. If HM really said those words I will never be sure but I like to think they fit with her personality. God Bless, your Majesty. Always greatly missed.

[@CosmicTeapot]

You know what I like most about this clip? The emotional pause when the Queen unprecedentedly confides in Pipes after "there are days when I wake up and it all feels a bit-..." It could've been just a dull and boring dramatic silence where we would simply bask in Imelda Staunton's powerful acting, but instead, we were lucky enough to be graced with a sound effect by the channel asking us to subscribe and click on the notification bell icon. Now THAT'S what a channel dedicated to cinema should do, I don't think there's a greater show of respect for the art.

😢 The pipes always move me deeply. My late husband was a second generation American whose grandparents came from St. Andrews and over the 32 years we were married, I heard the pipes many times. I really love this.

[@ClergetMusic]

I have Irish from my maternal grandfather (his family tree is VERY Irish). I think this might be why the pipes affect me so. My other prominent bloodlines are French and Polish. The French have the pipes, too, but not like the Scottish or Irish. Some of the more modern performances on Uileann Pipes are particularly moving.

[@FWMvet]

I cannot get over the casual way in which HM addresses him as "Pipes." I cannot find a source for it, but I am willing to bet that this is a nickname common among military personnel in Great Britain & Scotland, similar to "Sparks" for a naval radioman, or "Boats" for a Bosun's Mate. The reason it's significant - at least to me - is that, if this is so, HM here is addressing him, however momentarily, as the former Sergeant Windsor, soldier to soldier, rather than as Her Majesty the Queen. Which I find eminently fitting and appropriate, a momentary connection between people from very different stations in life. HM was a class act all her life. I miss her greatly.

[@Gfawkes77]

It's in a way his Title, he is the Royal piper. A position created by Elizabeth' Great Great Grandmother Queen Victoria.

[@FWMvet]

@@Gfawkes77 Oh yes, sir, I understand. But whereas one might expect HM to use his name or rank, she casually says "Pipes," exactly like another soldier would address their First Sergeant as "Top." It's an informal yet respectful address that only a soldier would use - and she seems to not think twice about using it, as she was a soldier herself. And I just love that.

[@Gfawkes77]

[@Nighthawke70]

Lorne MacDougall, from Carradale, Argyl, is no actor, he's the real deal when it comes to the pipes. He does the full spectrum when it comes to music composition. From creation, composition, to typesetting the music sheets he does it all. And now he's got an acting credit on one of the most moving scenes in the movie.

[@Trek001]

Was he the same Pipes seen from afar in the very last episode on the balcony?

As she got older, she seemed to connect far more to her Scottish side. Or she stopped trying to hide it.

[@Biketunerfy]

She never tried to hide it. Her home in Scotland was her favourite residence she could walk around outside the grounds in the village and no one bothered her. She could be her self just a member of the community. This why Scotland was her favourite place in the U.K. and why she wanted to die in Scotland. She loved Scotland with all her heart and the Scottish people. Charles is also the same. There’s a Video of King Charles just walking alone down this road and he bumps into some tourists on bikes and has a good chat with them. This is why the Royals love Scotland no one bothers them.

[@sleedog1]

HM the Queen Mother was Scottish through and through, I imagine her majesty had powerfully good memories of Scotland

[@Biketunerfy]

@@sleedog1 She did. She loved Scotland and her people. I’m half English and half Scottish like Queen Elizabeth II. My Dad is Scottish from Kirkcaldy, Scotland and my mother is from Stockton-on-tees, England, we go up there from England at least twice a year to visit my Scottish side of my family and see my uncle who is like a second father to me. I love Scottish people and English people just as our late Queen did. We share that in common with each other as do I with our King. You can tell I’m half Scottish because I love whisky and haggis and white pudding and square sausage and I stock up when I’m up there lol.

Watching this lady portray the queen with such skill i was reminded of her role in the Harry Potter movies. She was the character I most despised. Now, seeing her here caused me to re-evaluate my opinion. I have come to realize she may well be one of the finest to ever grace the screen. She evoked strong emotions in both roles. That is, to me, the true measure of an artist who gives over to their craft.

Agree with your sentiment! Be aware though, Her Majesty was "Queen of the United Kingdom". There hasn't been a King or Queen "of England" since 1707. Many Scots take offence at the monarch being referred to as "Queen of England" as it is (perhaps unwittingly) disrespectful to Scotland and Wales - countries which are part of the United Kingdom, and neither of which are "England".
