Queen Elizabeth II received a special tribute from nature upon her passing.

The 96-year-old monarch, who died peacefully in Scotland, seemingly 'opened up gates to heaven' in Buckingham Palace, according to the royal admirers.

The Palace witnessed a double rainbow over it moments after the Queen left for her heavenly abode.

In a statement earlier today, Buckingham Palace said: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon."

"The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow," the statement added.
