Today, a nation stands united in mourning as we bid a final farewell to our longest-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.
On the day of her funeral, Newsquest titles the length and breadth of the UK – from Glasgow to Brighton – have come together to publish a unified message on our front pages in tribute to Her Majesty, including the Worcester News.
‘The Last Goodbye’ is the solemn yet powerful message carried by Newsquest titles for identical front pages on this, the most sombre of days for our country.
And, as the Queen takes her final journey to be laid to rest at Windsor Castle, our reporters up and down the UK will be reporting live on this historic day to capture the mood.
On Thursday, September 8, Britain's longest-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, passed away aged 96.
The Queen had recently celebrated her Platinum Jubilee, a joyous occasion that saw communities all across the UK celebrate her life and reign over the last 70 years.
Her eldest son, King Charles III was officially proclaimed King on Saturday, September 10.
Queen Elizabeth II is survived by her four children: King Charles III; Anne, Princess Royal, Prince Andrew, Duke of York and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.
A special souvenir edition will be published on Tuesday across Newsquest titles to reflect the emotion and grief of this momentous occasion, which will see world leaders and well-wishers alike gather in London for a day unlike any other.
