Queen Elizabeth II ruled the nation for more than 70 years, and her death has truly devastated Britain.
The Queen has battled several health issues over the past year and missed two days of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations because of “discomfort” and mobility issues. On Thursday, Buckingham Palace issued a statement to say she was under medical supervision at Balmoral Castle.
This evening, Buckingham Palace said: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow. "
