According to a statement issued by Buckingham Palace, Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully today at Balmoral Castle, her estate in the Scottish Highlands, with her family around her. She was 96 years-old.

Elizabeth reigned as Queen of England from 1953. In 2015, she became the country’s longest-reigning monarch. She lived to see the massive celebrations in honor of her 70th year on the throne, held only this past June. Now Charles is King.

Under the circumstances, it doesn’t seem appropriate to link a bunch of festive coronation marches. Instead, here’s Herbert Howells’ “Behold O God Our Defender,” composed on Christmas Day, 1952, also for Elizabeth’s coronation.

“When beggars die, there are no comets seen;
The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.”

Or of queens, for that matter. R.I.P.
