A number of famous people used social media to express their sorrow over the monarch's departure and to thank her for her more than 70 years of service to the monarchy. At his New York show, Harry Styles also honoured her.

The British singer who has currently been on tour was performing at Madison Square Garden in New York when the news of Queen Elizabeth's passing was reported. Styles addressed the crowd regarding the tragic news and honoured the late monarch by saying, "Please join me in a round of applause for 70 years of service.

Other famous people who gave the Queen passionate tributes included singer Elton John, who wrote, "Along with the rest of the nation, I am deeply saddened to hear the news of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s passing.
