QUEEN ELIZABETH II STARTS SUMMER HOLIDAYS AT BALMORAL CASTLE

On August 6, 2019 Queen Elizabeth II made her official arrival at Balmoral Castle in Scotland to enjoy her annual summer holiday. Her Majesty inspected the guard of honour of the Balaklava Company, 5th Battalion, part of the Royal Regiment of Scotland.

It’s believed that The Queen arrived at the residence over a week ago since she has been spotted arriving at church services in nearby Crathie Kirk. Balmoral is located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, near the village of Crathie.
