Liz Truss has officially taken over from Boris Johnson as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after being appointed by The Queen in Scotland.
The Conservative party leader travelled to Balmoral for an audience with the monarch at her Aberdeenshire retreat shortly after noon.
She will now head back to Downing Street to give a speech outside Number 10 where she is expected to announce what her government will hope to achieve during her time in office. Truss was appointed after Boris Johnson also travelled north of the border to tender his resignation at around 11.30am.
