The death of Queen Elizabeth II and the welcoming of a new monarch marked a historic moment in our country's history.
The news of Her Majesty's death was announced in a statement on behalf of the Royal Family on Thursday evening.
Her death brings an end to a 70-year reign, the longest in history, having ascended the throne following the death of her father, King George VI on 6 February 1952.
Following the news, many major broadcasters have suspended their regular programming for special live news coverage and tribute programmes to the late Queen.
