Tributes pour in for the late UK monarch

The tricolour over government Buildings in Dublin is flying at half mast this morning, as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth.

A book of condolences will be opened at the British embassy in Ballsbridge, so people can pay their respects.

The 96-year-old monarch died peacefully yesterday afternoon at Balmoral.

The new King, Charles the Third, will travel to London later and is due to hold his first audience with British Prime Minister Liz Truss.
