Royal Family updates website after Queen dies, aged 96, at Balmoral Castle

The Royal Family has updated its website, following the news that the Queen has died, aged 96. Alongside a striking picture of Her Majesty, at her Coronation, the black website now informs visitors: '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."

A statement on the site adds: "The official website of the Royal Family is temporarily unavailable while appropriate changes are made.” Officials have also brought a notice confirming the Queen’s death to the gates of Buckingham Palace.

Crowds broke out into the national anthem outside Buckingham Palace with many weeping after the flag was lowered to half mast.
