Buckingham Palace, London, Announces Death Of Queen Elizabeth II.

Her reign spanned 15 prime ministers, beginning with Sir Winston Churchill, and ending with Ms Liz Truss, latter appointed by the Queen earlier this week.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II visited Cashel and Fethard in Co. Tipperary briefly in May of 2011.

With her death, the current Prince of Wales, her eldest son Charles, will return to London tomorrow from Balmoral, to lead the country in mourning, as their new King and Head of State, for the UK’s 14 Commonwealth realms.
