As well as her incredible reign, one thing Queen Elizabeth II was famous for was her love of the corgis she had, with the dogs synonymous with her Majesty.
News was delivered to the nation just after 6.30pm on Thursday that Queen Elizabeth II had died at Balmoral a few hours earlier, at the age of 96, as several senior members of the Royal Family headed to Scotland to be with her. Buckingham Palace announced the death of Her Majesty in a statement which read: 'The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral and return to London in the morning."
After King Charles was formally proclaimed as the new monarch in a historic ceremony at St James' Palace on Saturday, his late mother, The Queen's coffin left Balmoral on Sunday, headed for Edinburgh, where she will stay before the coffin is flown down to London, ahead of her state funeral on Monday, September 29.

The Queen had over 30 corgis during her 70 year reign. After her last remaining corgi Whisper passed away in 2018, The Queen was gifted Muick, by Prince Andrew and his daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugene to keep her company while Prince Philip was in hospital, before the Duke of York gave her Sandy in June, on what would would have been her late husband's 100th birthday.
It's reported that Prince Andrew and Princess Beatrice made a promise to The Queen to look after the corgis in the event of her death, with them said to have been walking the dogs in recent months.
Candy is likely to be looked after alongside the corgis, while Lissy lives with her trainer Ian Openshaw.
