The UK is in mourning after Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II died yesterday (September 8) at the age of 96. Elizabeth II, 96, was the nation’s longest-reigning monarch, serving as head of state for more than 70 years.
As the nation - and the world - comes to turn with the passing of the country's longest-reigning monarch, tributes to the Queen have been flooding in from across Bristol and beyond. The Queen's first-born son, Charles, has now become King and will be known as King Charles III. He paid tribute to his "beloved mother" yesterday evening.
