Twitter was full of tributes to Her Majesty, with many comforted by the rainbows in the sky.

“Her Majesty the Queen sent us three rainbows at the exact same time she crossed that bridge. One at Balmoral, one at Windsor Castle, and a double rainbow over Buckingham Palace. She is letting us know she made it, and all will be well,” a user tweeted.

“A double rainbow, Prince Philip reaching out to take Queen Elizabeth with him to heaven,” added another.

“Wow. What a sign…a rainbow appeared as soon as the Queen passed. She is safe, guiding Charles and William from her heavenly vantage point. The rainbow says, worry not…be hopeful!”

The Queen dies aged 96

This comes after the Queen’s death was announced by Buckingham Palace on Thursday.

Their statement said: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”

Charles quickly issued his own statement, saying: “The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.”

“We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.

“During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held,” he finished.
