'A time that will live on for me forever': The people from Northern Ireland travelling to London for Queen Elizabeth II's funeral
"This will be a time that will live on for me forever," according to eight-year-old Olivia Reid.
Olivia has written "a very personal note" to the Queen and hopes to lay it, along with some flowers, in London. "To be there at this time to pay our respects to our Queen, to take in the wave of emotion, it's something I will never in my lifetime experience again. It is an honour. "I feel it is important to pay my respects in person to a monarch who has served our country greatly, even long before my birth.
"Our community feels as though we have lost our own grandmother because we have such a strong connection with the British monarch - it is in the fabric of our very identity and even in this time of sorrow we are so proud to be British.
