Tributes to the Queen, who died yesterday aged 96 after 70 years on the throne, will be led today in the House of Commons by Liz Truss as the country enters an extended period of national mourning. Her eldest son has become King Charles III.

Gun salutes and church bells will ring out across the country today as crowds gather again outside Buckingham Palace, where the Union Jack was lowered to half-mast last night.
