Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, has passed away after reigning for 70 years.
She was 96. She breathed her last at her Scottish estate Balmoral.
The Queen came to the throne in 1952 and witnessed enormous social change.
Her son King Charles III said the death of his beloved mother was a "moment of great sadness" for him and his family and that her loss would be "deeply felt" around the world.
Queen Elizabeth II's tenure as head of state spanned post-war austerity, the transition from empire to Commonwealth, the end of the Cold War and the UK's entry into - and withdrawal from - the European Union.

Additional Information

She was witness to some of the most eventful moments in modern history, from the assassination of US President John F Kennedy to the moon landing, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the COVID pandemic.
She saw 14 Prime Ministers of the UK during her reign, from Winston Churchill to Liz Truss.
At first, she appointed Liz Truss in Balmoral in Scotland as she was too ill to return to London.
Her husband of 73 years, Prince Philip, died in April 2021, just weeks short of his 100th birthday.
