On the Royal Family Twitter account, a message was shared from the Queen and her husband, Prince Phillip, in honour of the devastating train derailment that occurred in Scotland yesterday, killing three people.
'It was with great sadness that I heard of the train derailment earlier today in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire,' the Monarch's statement said.
