The longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth II, died yesterday (8th September 2022) at the age of 96. Ruling the country for over 70 years with poise and dignity, tributes from across the region, the country and the globe itself continue to pour in.
The mourning period is anticipated to last 10 days, and will include many seats of power across the United Kingdom, with Queen Elizabeth II’s body expected to be put to rest at Westminster Abbey on the ninth day.
It is hard to think of any figure of office in the last 70 years who has reigned with such grace and political acumen, transcending squabbles and politics to become a figure respected all over the world. It is unlikely the UK will see her like again.
