Queen's former butler reveals how Royal Family will mark second anniversary of her death


The Royal Family will remember the late Queen Elizabeth II this weekend at Balmoral, in what will be a "sombre" and "poignant" time for the royals, according to her former butler

Queen Elizabeth passed away aged 96 at Balmoral two years ago this Sunday, and the Royal Family will honour the UK's longest reigning monarch this weekend at the same Scottish location. "The 8th of September will be that day we all have, we will all remember the Queen, and I think it was so perfect that she did pass at Balmoral, the place where she loved raising her family with Prince Philip, and they had such happy times," he said. He added: "I think they will probably have a dinner in memory of the Queen, and her son, King Charles, will make a toast, because [the fact she reigned] for 70 years just can't go unmarked.
