About Vantage Point


Witnesses with different points of view try to unravel an assassination attempt on the U. S. president. Special Agents Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) are assigned to protect President Ashton during a summit in Spain on the war on terror. Moments after the leader's arrival, shots ring out, and Ashton is down. In the resulting chaos, an American tourist (Forest Whitaker) comes forward with his camcorder, which he believes contains an image of the shooter.

Sep 6,2022 9:46 am

The Queen 's coffin is to make a six-hour journey from Balmoral to her palace in Edinburgh on Sunday.

The Cortege will begin the 175-mile journey at 10:00 And Then make its way through Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen, Angus and Tayside before reaching Edinburgh.

The Queen will then lie At Rest in The Palace of Holyroodhouse overnight.

Transport Scotland said it expected tens of thousands of people to line the route.

Officials have warned The Event is going to be " of unprecedented scale" and urged onlookers to choose a safe Vantage Point .

Key points in The Procession

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said it would be a chance for people to " gather together publicly and begin to mark Our Country 's shared loss".

" Her Majesty 's death at Balmoral Castle means Scotland has lost one of its most dedicated and beloved servants, " She Said .

" The grief we have seen across The World has been profound and deeply touching. It will be especially poignant to see Her Majesty 's coffin begin its journey from her Aberdeenshire home to The Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.

" We anticipate many, many people will be keen to pay their respects and we ask them to observe public safety messaging to ensure the safety of all. "

Laybys and access roads along the route will be temporarily closed. Those wishing to leave flowers have been asked to do so at designated areas along the route and mourners have been asked not to throw flowers at The Convoy as it passes.

Stein Connelly, Transport Scotland operator manager, said: " Even the recent COP26 gathering in Glasgow cannot match the amount of preparation and planning that has gone into this operation.

" Every effort will be made to minimise disruption to the travelling public, but significant delays are expected. There will be an enormous influx of people into Edinburgh, Dundee, Perth wanting to stand to see The Cortege passing.

" Check the route and if you want to travel to a suitable location to show your respects then plan ahead, make sure you give plenty of time for your journey and make sure it is safe where you are going. "

The First Minister and opposition party leaders will gather at the Scottish Parliament to observe The Coffin passing.

Keep safe

Dep Ch Con Malcolm Graham said: " We understand that The Public will want to show their respects to Her Majesty and we would urge them to do so safely.

" If you are attending to view The Queen 's cortege, please do not leave your vehicle at the side of The Road as this poses a risk to public safety. Please only park in designated areas and follow the directions of stewards and police officers.

" We would also urge people not to stand in unsafe areas and to keep off the carriageway at all times. There will be rolling road closures along the route.

" Other roads close to the route are expected to be significantly affected as large numbers of people from across Scotland and beyond come to pay their respects. "
