Meanwhile, Sky News is streaming coverage on its [Twitter account](https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1567859531002019841?s=20&t=NaTfsuo6hF_YSYzgOBlfgg) ( [@SkyNews](https://twitter.com/SkyNews)) and [YouTube](https://youtu.be/9Auq9mYxFEE). And if you have a corgi, now’s the time to pet it. If you’d like to follow the updates, many major outlets are continuing beat-by-beat coverage of the queen’s life.

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 ...

Her commitment to the Commonwealth was a constant - she visited every Commonwealth country at least once. Through the war, she exchanged letters with her third cousin, Philip, Prince of Greece, who was serving in the Royal Navy. She immediately returned to London as the new Queen. His Majesty the King said: "We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. At Buckingham Palace in London, crowds awaiting updates on the Queen's condition began crying as they heard of her death. After turning 18, Elizabeth spent five months with the Auxiliary Territorial Service and learned basic motor mechanic and driving skills.

THE BBC has interrupted their regular broadcasting across their channels following the announcement of the devastating death of Queen Elizabeth II.

"We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. According to an official statement by Buckingham Palace, the monarch "died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon". "She became Queen on 6th of February 1952, on the death of her father, King George VI."

She spoke to the nation, just before the BBC Six O'clock news. She - who had once driven broadcast executives to despair with her wooden delivery - barely had time to prepare. Her performance was flawless, her speech brief but perfectly pitched.

And twice she stepped - very gingerly - into the debate over Scottish independence, once in a speech in the 1970s and once just before the referendum of 2014. It was a brief glimpse into the thinking of a sovereign who believed that one of her roles was to unify an increasingly divided and disparate nation. The Queen never had reason to deny a dissolution of Parliament, and it would have been an extraordinary act to do so. And over the decades, the very idea of the Palace becoming involved in such a decision became alien to British politics. "I was astonished," wrote Harold Macmillan "at Her Majesty's grasp of all the details sent in messages and telegrams." One of her last, Boris Johnson, would grapple with the implications of the border within the island, and how to square that with the UK's departure from the European Union. The poison swirling around the Royal Family, around the Palace and around the very institution of the monarchy, was drawn. What was her place - and the monarchy's - in the new "Cool Britannia" and the informal style embraced by Tony Blair? The Queen's self-proclaimed "annus horribilis" in 1992 saw the separation of the Duke and Duchess of York, the divorce of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips and the separation of the Prince and Princess of Wales. "Divorce and separation," she once said, "are responsible for some of the darkest evils in our society today." But the Queen was open about her liking for tradition, for the ways things had always been done, and her dislike of change. Now, 75 years on, the cap has pride of place as she speaks to the nation on the anniversary of a great and heroic victory.

An inquest hears Simon Cole had been suffering with his mood, anxiety and had difficulty sleeping.

"Simon was a strong advocate for mental health support during his life. "At Leicestershire Police, we will always remember Simon and his commitment to policing, his humour and kindness, and his strong bonds within the communities we serve." Recording a conclusion of suicide, coroner Catherine Mason said: "Although Mr Cole had recently been suffering with his mood, anxiety and difficulty in sleeping, there was no evidence that he would take his own life when he did and had in fact denied any suicidal ideation to the medical professionals he was engaging with."

Leaders from around the world are paying tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, who "defined an era".

The world will long remember her devotion and leadership". He also recalled her "many gracious gestures and warm remarks" during a state visit to Ireland in 2011. Speaking shortly after the news of her passing was announced, an emotional Justin Trudeau said she had "an obvious deep and abiding love for Canadians". who, throughout her reign, showed dignity, courage and devotion". "I will never forget her warmth and kindness," he tweeted. I will always cherish that gesture."
