END OF AN ERA — Her LEGENDARY reign has ended, and the world had a LOT to say...
Queen Elizabeth’s monumental reign of 70 years and 214 days ended on 8 September 2022 at 18:30 (BST).
Born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor on 21 April 1926, she became the reigning monarch at the age of 25. She held the throne for over 70 years — the longest reign of any British monarch.
The news of her death was sudden. Several hours earlier, Buckingham Palace released a statement saying, “The Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health,” and that she was under medical supervision.
At 18:30 (BST), another statement broke the news: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.”
Upon her death, her eldest son Charles Philip Arthur George, 73, immediately became King Charles III. The new king issued a statement saying her death “is a moment of the greatest sadness for me.” Still, he is comforted by knowing “of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held.”
The Queen’s funeral will occur on Monday, 19 September, at Westminster Abbey. World leaders from around the globe will attend the state funeral with around 2,000 guests.
Just two days earlier, the Queen was pictured standing and smiling after receiving Liz Truss as the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. In what is the last official photograph of Her Majesty, she appeared in good health other than a noticeable bruise on her right hand.
Queen Elizabeth was someone who exemplifies selfless service to her country, through thick & thin she served. She will be greatly missed by millions of people across the world. May God strengthen the Royal family during this difficult time. May she rest in peace.

Social media exploded with tributes to the much-loved monarch, who has always conducted her duties with grace and dignity. #Queen and #QueenElizabeth trended on Twitter, but alongside adulation, critics took the opportunity to trend #AbolishTheMonarchy.
Tributes recognized the Queen’s 70 years of dedicated service to the country right to the end. Indeed, just two days before her death and in poor health, she performed her duty of appointing Liz Truss as the new prime minister. Many described Queen Elizabeth as an inspiration who always conducted herself with grace and honor.
Despite that, and in poor taste, a smaller group of people celebrated the death of Elizabeth II. Some saw the Queen of England as a symbol of colonization and even genocide and said it was the perfect time to abolish the monarchy.
However, that is likely a conversation for a more appropriate time, and most of the world remains focused on respecting the death of a beloved figure who has remained a constant throughout most of our entire lives.
Interesting facts about Queen Elizabeth II:
- She is the longest reigning female head of state in history and the longest-serving British monarch.
- Queen Elizabeth was coronated on 2 June 1953 at the age of 25.
- She passed away at the age of 96 at Balmoral Castle, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
- Despite lacking a formal education, she had an appetite for learning, a razor-sharp memory, and was fluent in French.
- Her main interest was equestrianism, and she was known for her love of Pembroke Welsh Corgis.
- When lying in state, members of the public queued for up to 24 hours to see her coffin and pay their respects.
- The Queen was buried alongside her husband, Prince Philip, at the King George VI Memorial Chapel at Windsor Castle on 19 September.
