Queen Elizabeth II has died at the age of 96 after having reigned for 70 years as the longest living British monarch. She ruled through 15 prime ministers, from Winston Churchill to the newly minted Liz Truss.

She was a steady presence throughout national and global upheavals – as well as family difficulties.

Tributes poured in from around the world, including those from the biggest names in tech.
