With the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8, 2022, Scottish farmers have paid tribute to her majesty with a tractor guard of honour as her coffin passed by the Aberdeenshire, Scotland, countryside on its way to Balmoral Castle in Edinburgh.
The tractor guard of honour was the brainchild of the NFU (National Farmers’ Union) of Scotland, an organization that promotes and protects the interests of the country's farming industry. Formed in 1913, it was approximately 10,000 ag and ag-related members.
