The nation has entered a mourning period to honour Queen Elizabeth II, who died at the age of 96 on Thursday evening. The longest-serving monarch passed away peacefully at Balmoral - her much-loved Scottish estate where she was said to feel most at home. Tributes for The Queen have poured in from across the globe, while people pay their respects at royal landmarks across the UK. King Charles III made a historic address to the nation on Friday evening, before being formally announced as the nation's new sovereign today.
Few public figures touched the hearts of the nation like Her Majesty The Queen, as many tenderly describe her as the 'country's grandma' - but she did hold a very special friendship with another national treasure: Sir David Attenborough.
