Moment of mourning observed after tribute from Camilla, Queen Consort, but Big Ben did not strike as planned
A national moment of mourning has been observed across the UK for Queen Elizabeth II.
The moment of silence, which took place on Sunday at 8pm, was held in memory of the monarch and saw mourners across the UK come together to pay tribute.
In a prerecorded tribute by Camilla, the Queen Consort, which was broadcast on the BBC shortly before the silence, Camilla spoke of the Queen's strength as a solitary woman" in a male-dominated world".
