Advertising screens in London lit up with images of the Queen after the news she had died at her Scottish estate where she had spent the summer.

London black cabs also lined The Mall leading up to Buckingham Palace to silently pay tribute to Her Majesty.

A rainbow was later seen outside the palace, a poignant nod to the late Queen known for her love of bright colours.

Thousands of people have laid tributes at the crowded palace gates in a show of respect.

The Queen Victoria Memorial outside was crowded with mourners.
