The Queen has died at Balmoral, aged 96 today. 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."
As she has passed, there is a question of what lies in store for a mourning United Kingdom. One question that people may have is around money, with coins and notes currently depicting the Queen's face, and whether that would have to change following her death.
There are plans and national protocols that will have everything in place from the very moment that the Queen passed away, reports My London.
Following her death, Operation London Bridge will commence, which is a plan which will see a number of things put in place. As she passed away in Scotland, Operation Unicorn is now part of the process.
One of these includes the announcement that Prince Charles will become king - which has officially been confirmed, with the Queen's eldest son taking the title King Charles III.
With this, the coins and notes which all of us use will need to be replaced, because they currently have the face of Queen Elizabeth II on them. New currency will be printed and distributed out all over the UK, with the old currency gradually phased out.
The old coins and notes will slowly be removed from circulation when worn out, although they will remain legal tender until a certain date.
And it's not just the UK which will be affected by the currency change. There will be changes in the currencies of many other countries, such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
