The Queen of England, Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest serving monarch, died at Balmoral age 96. With her death, her eldest son Charles will lead the country in mourning as the new king and head of state for 14 Commonwealth realms. The BBC's radio stations have been brought together for a special programme reflecting the life of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. You can hear that broadcast on BBC Sounds or there will be another edition of Newscast from the BBC later.
