Kenya’s outgoing President, Uhuru Kenyatta, has declared four days of national mourning following the passing away of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II.

She died on Thursday aged 96 at her Balmoral residence in Scotland. She was the longest-reigning monarch in the UK after being the nation’s figurehead for seven decades.

“Queen Elizabeth II was a good friend of the United Nations, and visited our New York Headquarters twice, more than 50 years apart. She was deeply committed to many charitable and environmental causes.”“In a world of constant change, she was a steadying presence and a source of comfort and pride for generations of Britons, including many who have never known their country without her.

She adds, “The Queen was a much loved and admired monarch, whose record reign of 70 years is an absolute testament to her, and her commitment to us all. She was extraordinary.”“With the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, a historic reign and a long life devoted to duty, family, faith and service has come to an end.”
