Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, has died aged 96, after reigning for 70 years.

Her family gathered at her Scottish estate after concerns grew about her health.

The Queen came to the throne in 1952 and witnessed enormous social change.

With her death, her eldest son Charles, the former Prince of Wales, will lead the country in mourning as the new King and head of state for 14 Commonwealth realms.

In a statement, Buckingham Palace said that the Queen died peacefully at Balmoral.

Her reign spanned 15 Prime Ministers starting with Winston Churchill, born in 1874, and including Liz Truss, born 101 years later in 1975, and appointed by the Queen earlier this week.

The new King will officially be known as King Charles III, it has been officially confirmed.
