Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest-reigning monarch, has died aged 96.
The Queen's relationship with her husband Prince Philip, a key part of her reign, lasted more than 70 years and began after a "quirk of fate" meeting at a Royal Navy college.
It was the future couple's first proper meeting, having only crossed paths before at a wedding and coronation when the then-Princess Elizabeth was young.
