Queen Elizabeth II of England has died at the age of 96

Crowd had gathered at the Buckingham Palace residence in London on Thursday as concern was growing over the Queen’s health.

Around 100 people braved torrential rain to stand at the palace gates, according to report, as senior royals rushed to Balmoral in Scotland, where the queen was being treated.

Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-serving monarch in British history and an icon instantly recognisable to billions of people around the world, has died aged 96, Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday.

Her eldest son, Charles, 73, succeeds as king immediately, according to centuries of protocol, beginning a new, less certain chapter for the royal family after the queen’s record-breaking 70-year reign.

Two days earlier the queen appointed Liz Truss as the 15th prime minister of her reign and was seen smiling in photographs but looking frail and using a walking stick.

 
One photograph of the meeting sparked alarm, showing a deep purple bruise on the monarch’s right hand.
