A group of female students at the King’s former school said it was “surreal” to be sitting in his former bedroom to watch the Queen’s funeral.
Gordonstoun school, Morayshire, suspended lessons to let staff and students watch the funeral broadcast.
King Charles joined the school in 1962 and studied there for five years. In that time he had lead parts in productions such as Macbeth and Pirates of Penzance.
He became head of his boarding house, Windmill Lodge, and went on to become a school guardian (head boy).
Yesterday Amelia, the current head of the house, gathered with friends in what is now her bedroom. The girls watched the funeral on a laptop at the desk used by the King in his time
