British Prime Minister, Liz Truss has described Queen Elizabeth II death as a big blow to Britain and the entire world, saying the late Queen was the \u201cRock of Modern Britain.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a condolence message on her Facebook account and Twitter handle, the newly elected British Prime Minister said, \u201cWe are all devastated by the news we have just heard from Balmoral.\u201d<\/p>\n

Below is the Full Statement <\/strong><\/p>\n

The death of Her Majesty the Queen is a huge shock to the nation and to the world.<\/p>\n

Queen Elizabeth II was the rock on which modern Britain was built.<\/p>\n

Our country has grown and flourished under her reign.<\/p>\n

Britain is the great country it is today because of her.<\/p>\n

She ascended the throne just after the Second World War.<\/p>\n

She championed the development of the Commonwealth – from a small group of seven countries to a family of 56 nations spanning every continent of the world.<\/p>\n

We are now a modern, thriving, dynamic nation.<\/p>\n

Through thick and thin, Queen Elizabeth II provided us with the stability and the strength that we needed.<\/p>\n

She was the very spirit of Great Britain \u2013 and that spirit will endure.<\/p>\n

She has been our longest-ever reigning monarch.<\/p>\n

It is an extraordinary achievement to have presided with such dignity and grace for 70 years.<\/p>\n

Her life of service stretched beyond most of our living memories.<\/p>\n

In return, she was loved and admired by the people in the United Kingdom and all around the world.<\/p>\n

She has been a personal inspiration to me and to many Britons. Her devotion to duty is an example to us all.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, at 96, she remained determined to carry out her duties as she appointed me as her 15th Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

Throughout her life she has visited more than 100 countries and she has touched the lives of millions around the world.<\/p>\n

In the difficult days ahead, we will come together with our friends across the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and the world to celebrate her extraordinary lifetime of service.<\/p>\n

It is a day of great loss, but Queen Elizabeth II leaves a great legacy.<\/p>\n

Today the Crown passes – as it has done for more than a thousand years – to our new monarch, our new head of state:<\/p>\n

\"\"
LIZ TRUSS WITH QUEEN ELIZABETH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

His \u00a0Majesty King Charles III.<\/p>\n

With the King\u2019s family, we mourn the loss of his mother.<\/p>\n

And as we mourn, we must come together as a people to support him.<\/p>\n

To help him bear the awesome responsibility that he now carries for us all.<\/p>\n

We offer him our loyalty and devotion just as his mother devoted so much to so many for so long.<\/p>\n

And with the passing of the second Elizabethan age, we usher in a new era in the magnificent history of our great country,<\/p>\n

-Exactly as Her Majesty would have wished \u2013<\/p>\n

By saying the words\u2026God save the King<\/p>\n
