In addition, schools, shops and sports are also set to see a change following the tragic news.
Ahead of her funeral, the date of which has yet to be announced, shops will likely close with more changes to come. Here is a look at things that could be closed, postponed or cancelled.
Shops, pubs and the economy
The day of the funeral will be a Day of National Mourning however employers will not be compelled to give staff a day off.
There will be a national bank holiday, following church services and memorial services across the UK. The service will take place at Westminster Abbey and a two-minute silence will be held across the UK at noon.
Shops will likely close or only be open for reduced hours however it's up to the individual business to decide whether or not they shall remain open or allow their staff time off.
The London Stock Exchange will be closed for at least the day of the Queen's funeral and possibly for several days after - which could potentially cost the economy billions, according to the Mirror.
Pubs, should they wish, can either remain closed or open with many naturally wanting to raise a toast to the monarch. However, pubs will be closed for one day in the Isle of Man, which is a British Crown dependency located in the British Isles.
Football
As part of the plans in place for the Queen's passing, all sporting fixtures will be cancelled on the Day of National Mourning. However other games leading up to, and after the funeral, could also be postponed.
Any matches that do go ahead will observe a three minute silence to pay their respects.
It is understood football bosses have been told to gauge the 'mood of a nation' when deciding what to do during this period of official mourning.
More updates will follow on which football fixtures, in both Scotland and England, will be affected.
Both Celtic and Rangers have paid a touching tribute to Her Majesty The Queen following the sad news of her passing.
A statement from Celtic read: "Celtic Football Club expresses its sincere sympathy and condolences to the family of the late Queen Elizabeth II following today's announcement of her passing."
A club statement for Rangers also read: "The Directors, management, players and staff of Rangers Football Club are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Her Majesty The Queen.
"Her Majesty served the people of Great Britain and the Commonwealth for over 70 years with incredible devotion and dignity. She will be gravely missed by not just our nation, but nations across the world.
"It is with great pride that her portrait has hung in our home dressing room at Ibrox Stadium as a mark of the club’s appreciation for her phenomenal service.

The Mercury Prize awards have been postponed, despite audience members already being in their seats at London’s Eventim Apollo. The annual ceremony had been due to start an hour before the news was announced, but organisers told the crowd they had decided to call off the ceremony "in light of the sad news".
A message displayed on the screen read: "In light of the sad news of the passing of Her Majesty the Queen, we are sorry to announce that we will not be proceeding with this evening's event as planned.
"Mercury Prize will be communicating with guests and audience members over the coming days. We thank you for your understanding at this difficult and sad time.
"Dinner will not be served, we would be grateful if you could finish you drinks and we will be closing the venue at 7.30. We thank you again for your understanding."

Members of the Communication Workers Union were due to continue a 48-hour walkout in a dispute over pay and conditions, but it has now been called off after the Queen's passing.
General secretary Dave Ward said: "Following the very sad news of the passing of the Queen and out of respect for her service to the country and her family, the union has decided to call off tomorrow’s planned strike action."
