Queen was 'full of fun' according to clergyman who spent last weekend with her

A clergyman who spent last weekend with the Queen has told The Times he was shocked to hear of her death as she'd been on 'amazingly good form' when he saw her.

The UK's longest reigning monarch died at Balmoral on Thursday afternoon, aged 96. In a statement confirming her death, Buckingham Palace wrote: "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."

It came shortly after the Palace announced Queen Elizabeth was under 'medical supervision' due to concerns over her health - as members of the Royal Family travelled to the Scottish castle to be by her side.
