'I know her loss will be deeply felt,' King Charles III says.
A rainbow appeared over Buckingham Palace shortly before the Queen's death was announced. The Queen pictured 48 hours before her death as she invited Liz Truss to become PM and form a new government.
World leaders also shared tributes, including US President Joe Biden, who described that Queen as"more than a monarch". Her death brings an end to a life of service and dedication to the Crown, after seven decades as the nation's figurehead. When she was born in London, then known as Princess Elizabeth of York, the prospect of becoming Queen was only a distant possibility.
In public, the Queen remained a calming presence for her reign, staying steadfast throughout wars, political upheaval and social unrest.
