"I have to say, it’s in everyone's interest to reconcile... I'm hoping but I'm not certain at all because there's a lot at stake here."

12.02am: Analysis from 1News correspondent Anna Burns-Francis in Edinburgh
If there was any doubt about Scotland's support of the British monarchy, you won't see it in Edinburgh today with enormous queues forming from early morning outside St Giles Cathedral.
The Queen's coffin won't arrive until around 4pm UK time (3am NZT) but mourners have been queuing since dawn to get a spot at the start of the line. Those wishing to pay their respects will be able to for 24 hours, until the coffin is moved to London.
They've travelled from as far away as the Hebrides - that's a ferry, a long drive and an overnight in a hotel - but it's clear by now the Scots see the Queen less as a Royal Family figurehead, and more as a respected leader who shared a love of their country.
By mid morning the line ran to more than a thousand people - with numbers expected to swell as the time of the procession's arrival grows closer.
They've brought deck chairs and hot coffee as well as commemorative flags and flowers, well-prepared for the long wait to farewell their beloved Queen Elizabeth.
It's also a chance to see the rest of the Royal Family, including King Charles III and his siblings, Princes Andrew and Edward and Princess Anne.
12.01am: King Charles has just arrived in Edinburgh, after addressing the UK Parliament for the first time.
