UK Queen at official opening of bridge across River Forth

(4 Sep 2017) UK QUEEN AT OFFICIAL OPENING OF BRIDGE ACROSS RIVER FORTH
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II officially opened the UK's tallest bridge over Scotland's Forth river Monday (4 SEPT. 2017.)
The Queen was welcomed by Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and spent some time talking to people at the south end of the bridge, including the construction workers, local officials and school children.
The bridge was blessed by the Church of Scotland's Moderator, The Right Rev. Dr. Derek Browning.
The monarch is to become a great-grandmother again, after it was announced on Monday that Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their third child.
The Queen cut the blue ribbon on the 1.35 (b) billion UK pounds (1.75 billion US dollars) road bridge, to cheers from the watching crowd.
The ceremony comes 53 years after she opened the neighboring Forth Road Bridge.
The Queen, accompanied by her husband, Prince Philip, then traveled by car across the bridge while the Red Arrows performed a fly-past and a flotilla of boats traveled under the bridge as the national anthem was played.
