What will happen to The Queen's corgis now? Her Majesty survived by beloved dogs

As well as her incredible reign, one thing Queen Elizabeth II was famous for was her love of the corgis she had, with the dogs synonymous with her Majesty.

News was delivered to the nation just after 6.30pm on Thursday that Queen Elizabeth II had died at Balmoral a few hours earlier, at the age of 96, as several senior members of the Royal Family headed to Scotland to be with her. Buckingham Palace announced the death of Her Majesty in a statement which read: 'The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral and return to London in the morning."

After King Charles was formally proclaimed as the new monarch in a historic ceremony at St James' Palace on Saturday, his late mother, The Queen's coffin left Balmoral on Sunday, headed for Edinburgh, where she will stay before the coffin is flown down to London, ahead of her state funeral on Monday, September 29.
