Photos Of Queen Elizabeth Through The Years

L. F.

Queen Elizabeth II left an incredible impact on the world through her 70 years of leadership in the throne. Sadly, her time on Earth has come to a conclusion. After she was forced to cancel a Privy Council meeting on Wednesday evening due to doctor’s orders, Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday afternoon that she “peacefully” passed away in Balmoral.

Seeing as she was 96 years old at her time of death, it’s clear the Queen made a significant impact on history. Before a new era begins and her son, Prince Charles, 73, ascends the throne, let’s take a look back at some of the Queen’s most memorable moments (below).
