London: Queen Elizabeth II (96), the longest-serving monarch of United Kingdom, breathed her last at Balmoral today. She was the titular head of UK for 70 years. Her family gathered at her Scottish estate after concerns grew about her health earlier on Thursday.

The Queen came to the throne in 1952 and witnessed enormous social change. Her eldest son Charles, the former Prince of Wales, will lead the country in mourning as the new King and head of state for 14 Commonwealth realms.
