Thousands of people have gathered in front of the palaces: it shows the great sympathy for the death of Queen Elizabeth II ARD-Correspondent Dittert.

The sympathy after the death of Queen Elizabeth II was huge shortly after the announcement. Thousands of people gathered in front of the palaces in Great Britain. “This is the moment so many Britons dread, saying goodbye to this Queen who has accompanied them for 70 years,” she said ARD-Correspondent Annette Dittert tagesschau24. “This is not just the end of an era, it is certainly the greatest turning point in post-war history, and the extent of the shock that will follow this death cannot really be determined at this point.”

At noon there was an official report from Buckingham Palace that doctors were seriously worried about the Queen’s health. “That was very unusual,” Dittert continued. The arrival of the family was also an indication of the seriousness of the situation. And then came the news of the Queen’s death. “From now on, the protocol of the ten-day period of mourning will be rolled out,” the correspondent continued. “Charles is now the new king and will meet with the new Prime Minister, Liz Truss, on Friday.”
