Thierry Henry has described the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as difficult as the former Arsenal captain paid tribute to the monarch. The former Arsenal winger lived in London for years and described himself as a Londoner, recognising the significance of such an occasion.
Buckingham Palace confirmed the death of Her Majesty The Queen on Thursday, September 8 aged 96. Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-reigning monarch in British history and the world's oldest head of state. She reigned for over 70 years and celebrated her Platinum Jubilee this year.
On her death, the Queen's eldest son and heir, Charles, the former Prince of Wales, has become King of the United Kingdom and 14 Commonwealth realms, while the funeral is planned for Monday, September 19. In wake of the tragic loss, tributes have been flooding in with plenty of touching stories during her life.
