The Queen has passed away.

Announced minute ago. RIP.

Yes I didn't expect to cry. She did so well on Tuesday bless her.

It’s not ‘tradition’ it’s the way it works. The heir becomes monarch instantly.

I can't believe how sad I am. RIP Your Majesty.

I'm really quite upset. I am a royalist and could never imagine not having her as our head of state.

RIP Queen Elizabeth
Long live the King

I’ve just had a little cry, especially when they went straight into the National Anthem. RIP Elizabeth R.

Rest in Glorious Peace. A life of service indeed. "Well done, good and faithful servant".

She's set a high bar. Hope Charles is up to it.

Very sad news.

The heir becomes monarch instantly.

It's because of the chequered history of interregnums between monarchs.

I haven't stopped crying 😭
This just tops off a shit year for many reasons Everything in life seems so unstable at the minute - we've just had yet another new prime minister and now a new monarch.

Such a beautiful woman. Rest in peace.

We're all quite upset here. What an amazing woman who became queen at such a young age and has just been a constant in our lives. Loved the twinkle in her eye.

RIP. I cried at Huw Edwards announcement seeing how obviously emotional he was

I'm sad because when I saw her looking so frail at the Jubilee I thought she reminded me of my Nan in her last few months.. in fact it's because I'm reminded of my Nan's death that I'm upset really.

Very sad news.

I am no monarchist, but I respected the Queen's incredible sense of duty and her commitment to service. I also valued the continuity that she brought to public life. Surprised myself by just how upset I felt when I saw the news...I guess she has just always been there.

I hope that her family will be given some space to grieve privately.

An amazing woman and how lucky this country was to have her as head of state for such a long time. A life of duty well lived and a very hard act to follow.

We will not see her like again.

RIP

I'm no royalist but feel sad. RIP.

Met Truss and decided to give the rest a miss.

The Queen had died, not passed. Its a solemn moment for a very old monarch. God rest the Queen

I feel surprisingly sad considering I never even met her - I think she did a good job though and took her duty very seriously throughout her life.

RIP HRH Queen Elizabeth II

I'm surprised at how emotional I feel, but she served her people, worked so much longer than anyone should ever do, and she was the figurehead of our country.
But now we will see Britain doing what we do best... ceremony. We will be witnessing a great piece of history with the funeral and then coronation.

I hope Philip was waiting for her :)

Yes, he is clearly genuinely moved. His voice is still breaking at times.

The general consensus is ' might not be a royalist , but we will miss her ' I think
Plus now there's a man in charge .
It is a sad day

Yes, me too, it reminds me of losing my Mum.

Well I sobbed buckets. When they said 'The King' - wow.

I feel really sad about her passing and also my 14 year old is also feeling really sad. I can’t stop thinking about her. Such a beautiful incredible lady.
