Britain mourns Queen Elizabeth as Charles becomes king

Boquet's of flowers are left on the gate at Buckingham Palace, London, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Friday Sept. 9, 2022. The country began a 10-day mourning period Friday, with bells tolling around Britain and 96 gun salutes planned in London – one for each year of the queen’s long life. People around the globe gathered at British embassies to pay homage to the queen, who died Thursday in Balmoral Castle in Scotland. (Kirsty O'Connor/PA Wire/PA via AP)
