The world of golf has united to pay tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who has died at the age of 96.
The longest-lived and longest-reigning British monarch passed away at Balmoral Castle in Royal Deeside on Thursday afternoon.

“The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”

In 1947, I remember being at school when the Queen and her family drove past. I vividly remember seeing her wave at us - she had grace and valor as a young lady, and that remained throughout her tenure as Her Majesty. She was a fine leader and even finer woman. Rest In Peace. pic.twitter.com/K0ebAkWm8x
