How the newspapers covered the Queen’s death

As the nation wakes up to its first day after the Queen’s death, newspapers in Britain – and around the world – have published historic editions to commemorate her 70-year reign. Here’s a look at some of them.

The Times focuses on the Queen’s extraordinary life of service. It also features a moving quote on the back page from her Christmas broadcast in 1957: ‘I cannot lead you into battle. I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else: I can give you my heart and my devotion to these old islands, and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.’

The Guardian has chosen the same picture for their front page – a striking image from the Queen’s Coronation in 1953, when she was just 27 years old.

In the Daily Mail, columnist Sarah Vine asks: ‘How to find the words? Our grief is a hundred emotions, all of them hard to grasp,’ and remarks on the double rainbow that appeared over Buckingham Palace after her passing.

The Daily Telegraph repurposes a phrase spoken by the late monarch as she paid tribute to victims – and families – in the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attack.
