Balmoral singer recalls Queen's reaction during final performance

the Queen weeks before her death said she was dignified to the end. Michaela Foster Marsh, 56, performed for the Queen at Balmoral on August 17 and said she will treasure the memory for the rest of her life, praising the monarch's 'supreme dignity. ' Michaela, from Glasgow, sang alongside piper Bethany Bisaillion, who was the Queen's piper in Ottawa, Canada.

She said the Queen looked very frail at the time and knew in her heart it would be the last time she saw her. The pair, who previously performed for The Queen in 2018 at Balmoral, sang a song in memory of Prince Philip.

Michaela said they did not have an audience with The Queen but that she looked radiant and was 'supremely dignified'. Michaela said: 'It's very sad and very emotional, I have been really upset since yesterday.

It's deeply upsetting. 'I was fortunate enough to perform for her three weeks ago at Balmoral, I was the last person to sing for her as far as I know. 'It was obvious she was very frail and I felt in my heart it would be the last time I would see her. 'I sang for her four years ago at Balmoral and seeing her recently, it was like a different person. 'She was still radiant and graceful but you could see she really wasn't very well and her mobility wasn't there. 'We performed a song for her in memory of Philip, it was deeply personal and very difficult to sing. 'I will have the memory of performing for her for the rest of my life and being able to sing for her will be something I take to the grave.
