As her country continues to mourn the only regent they’ve ever known, newspapers in the U.K. and all over the world paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.

Some publications used images from when the queen was newly crowned at her coronation in June 1953. Others used more recent photos showing an elder monarch after more than half a century of service to her country.
