“Through thick and thin, Queen Elizabeth II provided us with the stability and the strength that we needed. She was the very spirit of Great Britainâand that spirit will endure.”

âLondon Bridge is down.â The Queen, Britain’s longest-serving monarch, has passed away at the age of 96 after 70 years on the throne.
Buckingham Palace has said the Queen ‘died peacefully’ on Thursday afternoon at Balmoral. Her death came three months after her Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June.
Her eldest son Charles is now King, having acceded to the throne immediately upon her death. Charles will formally be proclaimed as the new sovereign at St Jamesâs Palace tomorrow, when his regnal name will also be announced. It is expected that he will choose to be known as Charles III, although there has also been speculation that he will reign as George VII.
