www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-62834633- The Queen is under medical supervision at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, a statement from Buckingham Palace says
- Her doctors are concerned for her health, following further evaluation this morning, it says
- But the palace adds the 96-year-old monarch "remains comfortable"
- Prince Charles, Camilla and Princess Anne are at Balmoral and Prince William is travelling there
- Prince Harry and Meghan are also making their way to Scotland, as are Prince Andrew and Prince Edward
- Prime Minister Liz Truss says "the whole country will be deeply concerned by the news"
- The Archbishop of Canterbury said he was sending his prayers and the first ministers of Scotland and Wales joined well-wishers in sending their thoughts
Things aren't looking great for her, having family travel there isn't a good sign. -------------------------------------------------------------

If London bridge is falling then I join her people in grieving. Truly a remarkable woman. Can’t imagine how odd it will be for three generations to get used to saying “god save our king.”

The protocall for her death is commonly known as Operation London Bridge, but there is a separate protocall for passing in Scotland codenamed "Unicorn"

The way they're tip toeing around this makes me thinks she's already dead.
I'm from the states and don't agree with monarchy but I'll always have respect for her driving ambulances during WW II. That was not an easy job.

The BBC broadcasters are dressed in black and are basically talking about her like she's already dead, which I don't think they'd do if they weren't damn certain about it.

At 96 it's when rather than if. Good long run for her if the end is near.

I was walking by a church not 20 minutes ago and heard the bells ringing. Thought that was her dead there and then, but maybe their practicing.

The sheer amount of history she witnessed from her position first hand is astounding.

Her death, in itself, is going to be history. It's extremely sad. However, it will also be interesting to watch. I don't mean that to come off insincere, it's just a fact.

Feels like they're waiting for family to get there to announce her death....

ITN reporters are all wearing black as well.
Crowds are gathering at Buckingham Palace.

The amount of time and history she has seen is amazing. I’m guessing they’re getting waiting for everyone to get there and since Harry is coming from the US it’ll take time.

Knew it was coming once Phillip went.
The family being summoned, even the outcast, makes me think this is it.
That's going to just be shocking. She's always been there.
