Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
1926-2022
Britain’s Queen Elizabeth died aged 96 on Thursday 8th September 2022.
Full statement released by Buckingham Palace:
“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.”
“Our hearts were saddened yesterday, when it was
announced that Queen Elizabeth II, our monarch for over 70 years, had died. She was the only Head of State many of us had ever known, and will be greatly missed. The Queen
devoted her life to the service of her country, right up until two days before she died.
Our thoughts are with her family, who have not just lost a Queen, but a beloved Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother.
God save the King”
