She was the longest-reigning monarch in England’s history and was beloved around the world.
The BBC played the national anthem, “God Save the Queen,” over a portrait of her in full regalia as her death was announced, and the flag over Buckingham Palace was lowered to half-staff as the second Elizabethan age came to a close.
Of course, celebrities and politicians have taken to social media to send condolences to the queen and her family, as well as admire the pillar or strength that she was during her reign.
Here are a few tributes to the queen.

For my whole life Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II has always been there. In my childhood I can recall watching her wedding highlights on TV. I remember her as a beautiful young lady, to the much beloved grandmother of the nation. My deepest sympathies are with the Royal family. pic.twitter.com/3JLILZDKwK
