How British newspapers have marked Queen Elizabeth's death
As Great Britain continues to mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth the nation's newspapers have prepared elaborate editions to mark the significant moment in history.
Truth be told, newspapers, broadcast stations and media outlets all over the world have been preparing for this moment for quite some time.
Friday's UK newspapers all feature front-page tributes to the Commonwealth's longest-serving monarch.
"We love you, Ma'am," The Sun's wraparound cover will read in the wake of Queen Elizabeth's death, featuring a picture of her majesty in her later years as well as an image of the young queen. The cover of the 36-page tribute also includes a statement from her son, King Charles III.
The Daily Mirror's front page simply reads "Thank you", along with a picture of Queen Elizabeth.
The Guardian, The Times, the Daily Star and the Independent have all used the same picture Queen Elizabeth II from her coronation in 1953, taken by royal photographer Cecil Beaton.
"You did your duty, Ma'am," the Daily Star's front page reads.
