Cheryl has penned a very moving tribute to The Queen, with a post referencing Her Majesty's relationship with husband Prince Philip.
News came in at just after 6.30pm 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."
Tributes swiftly flooded in from across the world, with North East celebrities like Alan Shearer and Ant and Dec among the many to pay their respects. And now Girls Aloud star and Fight For This Love singer Cheryl has honoured The Queen with a touching post on Instagram.
