Queen Elizabeth II has passed away at the age of 96, after more than 70 years on the English throne.
That makes her the second longest reigning monarch in Europe’s history, after taking the throne in 1952.
Her son, Charles immediately succeeds her as the next King of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries, including Canada.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau referred to the Queen’s passing as the end of a chapter in the two country’s shared history, rather than the page being turned.
Queen Elizabeth II was the longest reigning sovereign in Canada’s history, and visited the country more than 20 times throughout her reign.
