Britain’s longest-reigning monarch Queen Elizabeth II has passed away at 96 years old, and people around the world are paying tribute to her life and legacy.
The Queen presided over the Commonwealth and served as Canada’s Head of State throughout the entirety of her 70-year reign.
Her Majesty had a profound history with Canada and visited its major cities many times over the years.
Many Canadian landmarks are named after her and we see her familiar face often on our $20 bills.
