Angus Robertson, the SNP's parliamentary group leader, has also been paying tribute to the Queen.
He said he wanted to "put on record the appreciation of the people in Scotland for the Queen".
Mr Robertson said the Queen had a "lifetime connection" with the people of Scotland.
House of Commons
Parliament
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told MPs that as a "relatively young whippersnapper", he is in favour of leaders from "a finer vintage".
He added: "Whatever people's views on the institution, the vast majority share an opinion that the Queen had served the country with a clear sense of public duty."
He also paid tribute to her wit, recalling the time when the Queen asked a new MP, Mildred Gordon, how she was getting on.
Ms Gordon lamented the fact that she felt she had very little power to help her constituents, to which the Queen replied "that when they find out you can't help, they all talk to me."
Hundreds of people are waiting with anticipation for the Queen to walk out of the Henry VIII gate at Windsor Castle.
Well-wishers have flocked from across the UK, and some families have come from as far afield as Egypt and Canada.
