The Royal Household has opened an online book of condolences for the death of the Queen at https://www.royal.uk/send-message-condolence.
According to the site, "A selection of messages will be passed onto members of the Royal Family, and may be held in the Royal Archives for posterity."
The death of the Queen is the first of a monarch of Scotland to have taken place in the country since James V in 1452, and the first ever to have taken place in the country for a British monarch.
It is being reported that she will lie in state at St. Giles Cathedral for a few days, before being moved to London.
