According to the Royal Families' official Twitter account, Queen Elizabeth II has passed away.

The monarch was surrounded by family at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where doctors have had her under medical supervision since this morning. Her son, Charles the Prince of Wales is first in line for the throne, with his son, Prince William the Duke of Cambridge next in line.

 The Queen has visited The Parkland twice, the first time being in 1970, and the second was for the Opening of Selo Ukraina in 1984.

Queen Elizabeth II was the first monarch to open parliament in Canada in 1957, a job normally done by the governor-general. Her 70 years in power make her the longest-running monarch in British and Commonwealth history.
