Live Updates: Ohio officials react to Queen Elizabeth IIs death

OHIO — Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning British monarch, has died, Buckingham Palace announced on Twitter.

“The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon,” the palace wrote on Twitter. “The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”

She was 96-years-old. She took over the throne at just 27-years-old and ruled the United Kingdom for more than 70 years.

Across the Buckeye State, officials are reacting to the Queen’s death, giving their condolences over social media.

Queen Elizabeth II’s life of service was an inspiration to her country, and to girls around the world, at a time when they had few role models in positions of power. Our thoughts are with her family and with the people of the United Kingdom.

Just an extraordinary life. I’ll always remember when she had our national anthem played after 9/11, breaking centuries of tradition at a time when we really needed a reminder of who our friends were. May God rest her soul. https://t.co/h3bDAJ9UnU
