Yes I'd expect by now she's already gone and an announcement imminent
Whatever one may think about the adequacy of maintaining the institution of monarchy, I have a lot of respect for her life achievement. There were certainly times when I did not agree with her, but looking at her 70 years of service, she deserves respect.
Wishing her well for the final round.

Not a royalist at all, I see no place for monarchs in this age.
But it's very sad that an old lady nears the end of days. I wish her clear skies all the way, and all around her well.
My daughter has been told by a friend that she passed at 15.10. Could be rubbish but the friends dad does work in the Royalty and Specialist Protection unit.
Surely only a matter of time. If she has passed, I assume they’re waiting for the family to gather before releasing a statement, and I don’t think Harry’s there yet.
Whatever anybody’s opinion of the monarchy, she has served with dignity and certainly has my respect.

I have heard similar rumours through a colleague’s husband who works in the Home Office…
Just announced on the royal website. A sad day.
Huw quite emotional on the beeb...
RIP.

RIP, very sad day
Rest in Peace.
The passing of an era.
:-(
P.S. I see that the announcement confirms the FoaF gossip we saw above: That she died "this afternoon".

RIP. A life of service well lived and a damn fine innings at the end of the day.
A very sad day, RIP Your Majesty
That moment when you hear Charles referred to as "the King" on the news for the first time.
So sad to hear. I have spent 34 years in her service. RIP your majesty.

RIP Your Majesty, what a woman, what a monarch.
RIP Your Majesty. I'm no Royalist but she was an excellent monarch, I'm also happy to see Charles get his chance to be King.

With deep respect, RIP.
A very sad day indeed.
A very sad day. Feeling much more emotional and strange that I’d have thought I’d feel. She’s been a wonderful part of our country and lives for ever. May she rest in peace.
Long live our new King.

You'll forever remain a shining beacon of humanity, humility and honour.
RIP. Queen Elizabeth.
She gave a special meaning to the word duty. RIP.
Rest in peace ma'am. You really did your country proud. A lifetime of service which will never be matched. Truly the last great monarch.
A very sad day, RIP Your Majesty
A momentous event that will not be forgotten
May she Rest In Peace
God Bless the Queen
