Queen Elizabeth II has died at the age of 96 after ruling Britain for 70 years.
Buckingham Palace released a statement at 6:30pm on September 8, saying: “The Queen passed away peacefully this afternoon at Balmoral.
“The King and Queen will stay at Balmoral tonight and return to London tomorrow.”
Queen Elizabeth II is the longest-reigning monarch in British history and is credited with serving Britain and the rest of the world during her impressive reign and modernizing the monarchy in many ways.
The plan for the death of the Queen is known as Operation London Bridge, with ten days of mourning among the protocols to be followed after the death of the monarch.
But what are these days for and when will they end?
Why 10 days of mourning?
The Queen’s death sparked ten days of official national mourning.
A national day of mourning has been established to honor a person of particular importance to the country who recently passed away.
The last major period of national mourning in Britain was held in 2005 in honor of the 52 people who died in the July 7 terrorist attacks in London.
During the 10 days of mourning, flags are flown at half-staff and condolences are paid at British embassies around the world.
When will the 10 days of mourning end?

On September 9, ten days of mourning were declared, although the Queen died on September 8.
This means that the 10 days of mourning will end around September 19.
The Queen’s funeral is scheduled for ten days after her death. This makes Sunday September 18 or Monday September 19 possible dates.
The date of his death is believed to be “Day 0”, so it is most likely Monday, but there is no official confirmation yet.
All parliamentary activities are expected to be suspended for the time being.
His coffin will remain in the Houses of Parliament for three days, and hundreds of thousands of people are expected to descend on London to pay their respects.
The Sovereign’s coffin is carried from Westminster Hall and carried to Westminster Abbey by gunfire from the crowd of mourners.
The Queen will be buried in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, where her mother and father are also buried.
The ten days of mourning end on the day of the Queen’s funeral, which becomes a national holiday.
