A farewell to Britain’s longest-serving monarch 🤍 When Elizabeth became Queen at the age of 25 in 1952, she vowed to devote her life to public service. In her 70 years on the throne, she became a steadfast symbol of stability, continuity and grace, and she worked hard until her final days. The last photo in this slide show was taken just three days ago on September 6. At Balmoral Castle in Scotland, the Queen waited to meet Britain’s new Prime Minister Liz Truss.
