Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer also marked the passing of"a remarkable sovereign"."Above the clashes of politics, she stood not for what the nation fought over, but what it agreed upon. As Britain changed rapidly around her, this dedication became the still point of our turning world," he said in a statement.
Former prime minister Boris Johnson, who gave his final address outside Downing Street just two days ago, described it as"the country's saddest day". "Wave after wave of grief is rolling across the world, from Balmoral - where our thoughts are with all the Royal Family - and breaking far beyond this country and throughout that great Commonwealth of nations that she so cherished and which cherished her in return."Former Conservative PM Sir John Major said she"devoted her life to the service of our nation and its wellbeing".
