As the nation grieves the death of the Queen, many of her patron charities are paying their respects and honouring special moments they treasured with her over the years. From women's issues to animal rights and frontline support, the Queen has been integral to more than 600 major charities and smaller, independent ones.
Some of the most long-standing charities that she was a patron of include the British Red Cross, the RNLI and the RSPCA, all of which have paid their respects and condolences to the royal family. The RSPCA, which gained royal approval in 1840, has announced a touching tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II - to remember her lifelong dedication to animals.
