The Queen: mourning her death in pictures

The UK mourned the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II who died yesterday afternoon, at home in Balmoral.

They lay flowers, lined the streets of central London and left their condolences in their droves.

Here’s a look at north London in pictures as the capital reacted to the news.

Palaces, castles and places of interest around the UK flew their flags at half-mast:

Before the arrival of King Charles III, Hyde park saw a 96-round gun salute (one round for every year of her life) followed by an emotional round of applause from the crowds.
