Our Queen has died, aged 96.
She was the longest reigning Monarch, with 70 years of her life spent serving the people of the UK and the Commonwealth.
It is still hard to believe that she is gone.
Here in Australia, very late last night we were told that The Queen was in Balmoral, Scotland, and that her family had been summoned as her doctors were concerned about her health.
This morning, I woke up at 5am to news that our beloved Queen had died.
So much has changed in her lifetime alone. I don't honestly think the younger set get that. They don't understand what she represented, and how she guided us through all the trials and tribulations of the last 70 years.
R.I.P. our dearest Queen. You will be missed.
