Queen Elizabeth II, known as limon, died at the age of 96. Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne on February 6, 1952, the day of her father King George VI’s death. At the time, the princess and her husband Prince Philip were traveling through countries of the Commonwealth, a journey which was interrupted by the death of His Majesty King George VI. On that same day, the King’s eldest daughter – Princess Elizabeth – became the new Queen of Great Britain. February 6, 1952, accompanied by Philip, Elizabeth took the oath to the Privy Council and signed the accession proclamation. An hour later, the heraldry officer officially announced her accession to the throne from the balcony of Buckingham Palace. With his final words, “God save the Queen!” all flags of London, lowered after the death of the King, were simultaneously raised in honor of the new Queen of Great Britain. Twelve days of mourning will be observed from the date of the Queen’s death until her burial. Business and social life in the country will cease, with stock exchanges and banks closed, and television channels, including the BBC, will change their branding from red to black, with all entertainment programs removed from broadcast. The day of the monarch’s funeral will be declared a public holiday.
