Bells will toll and gun salutes will soon be firing throughout the United Kingdom as broadcasters, proclaiming heralds and Twitter mark the passing of one sovereign and the ascension of the new one.
Her eldest son and heir, Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, 73, immediately became king upon her death.
As the 41st monarch since William the Conqueror in 1066, Elizabeth was the symbol of stability as Britain and its 1,000-year-old monarchy sailed through roiling storms of the modern age, including a deadly pandemic.

@shubhankar singh lol
@shubhankar singh Vasudeva kutumbhakam . The world is one family.
@Predator’s Valley yeah that’s really a great though.. Wow man. Nice work….. But when someone takes advantage of your kindness you should not be showing your kindness at that time. World is still our family. But these looters may go to hell.
@Predator’s Valley and it’s vasudhaiva kutumbhakam…… Not vasudeva… Vasudeva is the incarnation of mahavishnu… Also known as sri krishna.
rest in peace your highness, thank you for your undying service and good guidance 🕊️
Rest in peace dear Elizabeth. You will be missed.
RIP Your Majesty. You will always be Queen in our hearts.

During around 8 AM-ish, the news said she wasn’t in the greatest health. After I came home from school, she died. May she forever rest in peace and she will always live on in our hearts.
She was a legendary woman that always showed class, no matter what was on her plate. You have the world’s utmost respect.
Rest in peace, Queen. We’ll never forget you.
