She was Queen of the United Kingdom and Head of the Commonwealth, but in reality Elizabeth II belonged to the entire world, a fact that is on full show today as nations and people around the globe mourn her loss at age 96.
As a symbol of respect for a king who meant so much to so many, flowers were put in Paris and Prague, sports stadiums fell silent from Benidorm to Beijing, and monuments were illuminated across Sydney and Singapore.
In honor of her record reign, the Empire State Building was illuminated in purple and silver, the Eiffel Tower went dark, and Christ the Redeemer, which overlooks Rio de Janeiro, gleamed in red, blue, and white.
It occurred after Her Majesty passed away at Balmoral Castle on Thursday, with son Charles – now King Charles III – and daughter Anne by her side, as her seven-decade reign came to a peaceful end.
