The nation has united in grief after Her Majesty’s tragic death yesterday in Balmoral.

The stunned silence shared by Brits at her passing was broken at 1pm today as the Death Gun Salute exploded from Hyde Park.

One round was fired every ten seconds – with 96 shots in total to represent a year of the Queen’s life.

The King’s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery left their base at Wellington Barracks, which is next to Buckingham Palace, this afternoon.

  1. I'm crying watching this😭😭 Queen Elizabeth has been Queen since I was a child and now I'm 45 yrs old and saying goodbye to a wonderful woman I loved and adored watching her on TV my whole life throughout her reign as the Queen of England .~bows head in a moment of silence with tears 😢😢…….you will be deeply missed by many Queen Elizabeth may you rest in eternal peace my prayers and condolences go out to the Royal Family and to all her loyal subjects who knew her 🇻🇦🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹goodbye til we meet again in heaven my Queen 👑

  2. 日本の皇室は明治より天皇がすりかわって戦争のみちに走ってしまった。いまだにデタラメな皇室が天皇だと名のってる。イギリスの王室はどうなの?こんなデタラメな日本の皇室と仲良くできるということはイギリス王室も実はデタラメな王室ではないのか?

  3. Reports just in that a farmer in Wales has lost 96 sheep this afternoon in what has been described as "extraordinary circumstances".

  4. The most important now is the speech Queen Elizabeth 2 broadcasted on media about God's son Jesus Christ who came an died for us. If she had not done that I think she would be in trouble now with God, because all God wanna hear is work done for his son Jesus Christ, he don't wanna hear about any Monochy or material things on her judgment. I am correct. 👍

  5. If ONLY someONE had a BattleShip still in service…you could really Express the message across with 16 Inch Guns!…Hmmmm Imagine that kind of message being felt along the shores on the UK.
    I imagine UKRAINE helped recognize this moment and Honored the Queen by doing the same thing…but with real shells.
