Holly Willoughby brings her children to pay respects to the Queen at Buckingham Palace

Holly Willoughby and her rarely-seen children went to Buckingham Palace to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II.

The monarch died at the age of 96 on Thursday, September 8, at her beloved Balmoral estate in Scotland.

Since her death, presenters and stars around the nation paid tribute to the long-reigning monarch.

On Sunday, Holly took her children - Chester, seven, Belle, 11, and Harry, 13 - to Buckingham Palace in London to lay down some flowers.

In pictures shared on Instagram, an ocean of flowers were laid out by loyal mourning fans.

"Time to reflect and pay our respects… the children wrote the most beautiful words…" she captioned the post.

She took one photo, which only showed the back of her children's heads, in front of the Palace gates.

Her children were seen looking down at the flowers while fans formed a circle around it.
