WE have opened an online book of condolence for people to leave their tributes to Her Majesty the Queen.
A statement from the Royal Family read: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
"The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow."
You can leave your own message using the tool below.
