……as buckingham Palace announce her demise

The Queen has died at the age of 96, Buckingham Palace has announced.

Speculation over the health of Queen Elizabeth II grew intense Thursday morning in Vancouver after federal cabinet ministers repeatedly delayed a planned press conference.

Prime minister Justin Trudeau was slated to announce a package of measures aimed at affordability- dental care for low income families, tax rebates and rental assistance but the event was delayed indefinitely

Journalists covering the event reported seeing cabinet ministers and a senior aide wearing black or dark clothing.

Like other world leaders, Trudeau had previously sent out a tweet of condolence to the ailing monarch.

“My thoughts, and the thoughts of Canadians across the country, are with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at this time. We’re wishing her well, and sending our best to the Royal Family,” he wrote.
