The Queen was photographed thousands and thousands of times (probably more), from cradle to grave. In among the blanket news coverage of her death, one photograph keeps rising to the fore and it’s this one by award-winning @belperbarlow. It was taken at Balmoral on Tuesday.

Scotland records its highest number of coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic again This record has been beaten for the second time in days and is part of a growing trend But FM Nicola Sturgeon says the vaccines are proving their worth 👇

1/ Today’s reported Covid figures show a further increase - however, the vaccination impact is still clear. Vaccines are now doing much of the work we needed heavy restrictions to do in the last wave. And thankfully, we continue to see a much lower burden of serious illness…

Sorry @TomEden11 that was my fault - I accidentally missed you on the list. You can have two questions next time.
