It's the end of an era

"Where were you when The Queen died?" will probably be the big question that'll be brought up countless times in the future.

The Queen passed away yesterday evening, September 8, 2022 at the age of 96.

After 15 Prime Ministers and 70 years on the throne, Elizabeth II died peacefully in Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

Her son, Charles, is now King Charles III, at the age of 73. His wife Camilla will now become Queen Consort Camilla. 

King Charles said in a statement: "The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.

"We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world."
