8 Portraits of the Atmosphere of Buckingham Palace After the Death of Queen Elizabeth II, Filled with Sea of People Bringing Flower Arrangements - Rain and Tears Accompany the Departure of the Queen

The sad news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II was not only felt by the Royal Family and the British society, but also by the whole world who knew the figure who ruled for 70 years. Although the Queen died at Balmoral, her home in the Scottish Highlands, Buckingham Palace, which is a symbol of the British monarchy, also became the focal point for the public and the press. Take a look at the following photos.

A few hours after the news of Queen Elizabeth II's death was announced to the public, the streets around the palace were closed to cars and flooded with people of all ages and backgrounds.

The drizzle and the darkness of the night did not deter hundreds, even thousands, of mourners from coming and turning the area around Buckingham Palace into a sea of black umbrellas on Thursday night.

Journalists from various parts of the world were also seen preparing among the crowd of mourners who came. They were seen interviewing passers-by to remember the Queen.

A group of musicians were also seen bidding farewell to the Queen at the age of 96 in front of Buckingham Palace. They performed God Save the Queen with wind instruments that were also sung along by the sea of people there.

The crowd becomes increasingly dense as the night grows late. Floral arrangements and candles from mourners paying their respects to the late Queen fill the gates of Buckingham Palace.

On the other hand, barriers have been set up and the police continue to try to control the crowd by instructing people to place the floral arrangements they brought and then leave.

Nevertheless, hardly any mourners leave the area of Buckingham Palace. It seems that they want to absorb the moment of the historic figure's passing that only happens once in a lifetime.

Moments after Queen Elizabeth II was pronounced dead, the royal crown officially transferred to Prince Charles. The throne of England passed without ceremony into the hands of the Prince of Wales.
