In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.” It added that “The King and the Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”

The Queen came to the throne in 1952 and witnessed an enormous social change after already becoming a symbol during the pains of World War Two.
