Ottawa residents reacted with sadness at Queen Elizabeth II’s death on Thursday, including some who had personal interactions with her.
Bethany Bisaillion, a pipe major with the Sons of Scotland, met the Queen seven times. Most recently, she saw her just three weeks ago, when her piping group performed at Balmoral Castle.
Flags across the city have been lowered, including on Parliament Hill and at Rideau Hall, where flowers have been placed as a growing memorial. Jill and Allan Peterson were both born in the United Kingdom and just heard the news of the Queen’s passing. Ron Adams, who is also originally from Britain, visited Rideau Hall to pay tribute. He says there will never be another like Queen Elizabeth II.
