The country is in mourning following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Her Majesty passed away Balmoral in Aberdeenshire on Thursday afternoon at the age of 96. In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”
Members of the Royal Family gathered at Balmoral on Thursday after doctors expressed concerns for Her Majesty's health, just two days after she asked new Prime Minister Liz Truss to form a government. Her death was announced to the nation at 6.30pm.
