It was the sculpture that first caught the eye for several of the villagers. When Soak Becomes Spill, a six-meter stainless steel bucket overflowing with pots and cooking utensils that had previously sat outside London's V&A, appeared in Braemar outside the defunct Invercauld Arms hotel in August. The rare work of art sparked some curiosity. 'Challenging,' was one local's remark.' Another said, 'Bizarre.' 'It's very different for Braemar,' Geva Blackett, a local councillor, said, "but that doesn't mean it's wrong." Just as well.

And, as a theatre in London produced a play about Groucho Marx last year, audiences were alerted by email to the danger of seeing an actor with 'a prop cigar.' Nevertheless, viewers of David Hockney: A Celebration (Sky Arts) were confronted with an alert by the spectacle of the world's best living artist chatting, while smoking cigarettes. He was also unrepentant, which was worrying. 'Smoking doesn't matter,' he told Melvyn Bragg. Some people can smoke while others can't.' It's just these bossy people, I think. There are just too many.'

The coffin is now in the ballroom, draped in the Royal Standard. It will remain there for two days before being driven to Holyrood House in Edinburgh. Later this week, it will be moved back to London. The ballroom held special memories of the Queen, whose love for the highlands was well known. It was where she performed as a young princess at the Ghillies Ball at the age of 12 and where she continued to dance for years with Balmoral staff. Since Queen Victoria and Prince Albert first purchased the estate in 1852, the annual ball has been a tradition. It was their way of thanking the employees for their hard work and loyalty, and it's a tradition that has endured for more than 100 years.
