Queen Elizabeth II, UK’s longest-serving monarch who reigned for 70 years, passed away at Balmoral at the age of 96.
After worries about her health grew early on Thursday, her family gathered at her Scottish estate.
The Queen saw significant social change after ascending to the throne in 1952.
After her passing, her eldest son Charles, the former Prince of Wales, would take the throne as the new King and ruler of 14 Commonwealth states, leading the nation in grief.
