Świat sportu pożegnał królową Elżbietę II

"Królowa zmarła spokojnie w Balmoral dziś po południu. Król i Królowa Konsorta pozostaną dziś wieczorem w Balmoral, a jutro wrócą do Londynu" - napisano w komunikacie Pałacu Buckingham informującym o śmierci Elżbiety II.

Elżbieta II zmarła w wieku 96 lat. Na tronie zasiadała przez ponad 70 lat - dłużej niż jakikolwiek brytyjski monarcha w historii. W chwili jej śmierci tron automatycznie przejął jej najstarszy syn, Karol.
