The world is mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth II and, around the globe, newspaper front pages will be paying tribute to the British monarch.

As night falls in the UK and the country enters a period of official mourning, British media are dedicated their front pages to tributes to the Queen, who leaves behind a powerful legacy.

The Telegraph was one of the first to post its front page to social media, featuring a black and white photograph of the Queen and the poignant quote, attributed to the monarch, "grief is the price we pay for love".

"We loved you, Ma'am," reads the front page of The Sun.
