Balmoral Castle flies union jack at half-mast following death of Queen Elizabeth II
The union jack was flown at half-mast at Balmoral Castle in Scotland following the death of Queen Elizabeth II aged 96.
Buckingham Palace announced that Elizabeth II died peacefully at the castle on Thursday, 8 September, after an earlier statement that she was "comfortable" while under medical supervision.
Britain's longest-serving monarch is automatically succeeded by her son, who will now be known as King Charles III.
One of Queen Elizabeth's last engagements was a meeting with Boris Johnson and Liz Truss on Tuesday at her Scottish residence, when she swore in the new prime minister.
