Queen Elizabeth, UK’s longest-reigning monarch and world’s longest-reigning monarch, dies aged 96 – Official announcement from Buckingham, flags at half-mast – Global emotion at loss of longest-serving head of state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since April 2021 when her beloved husband Philip died, the queen’s health began to deteriorate. In October 2021, Elizabeth was hospitalized for a whole night and later, she started appearing with a cane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After February 2022, when she fell ill with the coronavirus, the burden on Elizabeth’s health was visible in every appearance. In fact, as many appearances as were not cancelled\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At noon on August 8, 2022, it was officially announced by Buckingham Palace that it had been decided to put her under medical observation. The BBC interrupted its program to broadcast the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The members of the royal family began to make their way to Balmoral, to the Queen, with anxiety mounting. Television crews and citizens began to crowd outside Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it became known at 18.30 London time, Queen Elizabeth passed away. Minutes before her death was announced, flags flew at half-mast and soon after the BBC broke the sad news. It went “black” on the Royal Family’s website, while King – now – Charles, who will remain at Balmoral Castle, where Elizabeth took her last breath, is expected to address the nation on Thursday evening. after that, he is scheduled to tour the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n

‘London Bridge has fallen’ – What the Queen’s succession protocol says<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first person outside Buckingham to be informed of the sad news was Prime Minister Liz Truss, who was predictably called by the Queen’s personal secretary. Cabinet members, members of the Privy Council and officials, including the Armed Forces, who are planning honor ceremonies across the country hours later, were also informed by text. The plan was to update everyone with the same message: \u201cWe have just been informed of the death of HRH the Queen. Discretion is essential.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Queen’s funeral is due to take place ten days later at Westminster Abbey, before she is buried in the family crypt next to Prince Philip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the funeral, her body will be on display for three days in public pilgrimage at the Palace of Westminster, which will be open 23 hours a day for those who wish to pay their respects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department for Transport has already been notified that London will be packed, for the first time in its history, with trains and buses full of people traveling to the capital to mourn the Queen, while hotels and all accommodation will be full. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Operation London Bridge” also contains plans for Social Media and has been updated to keep pace with the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All gov.uk websites will have a black banner. Every tweet from government and ministerial accounts will have to be approved by a communications officer, while no public statements are allowed until the prime minister speaks, possibly from Downing Street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
