The passing of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96 marked the end of an era in British history. After taking the throne following the death of her father, George VI, in 1952, she reigned for 25,782 days - meaning that most Brits alive today will have never before experienced life under any other monarch.
In June, the nation took to the streets to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, as she reached the unprecedented milestone of 70 years on the throne. Three months later, more than 250,000 people queued in the streets of London, this time to pay their final respects to the Queen as she lay in state in Westminster Hall.

The YourHomeStyle team has spent hours scouring the internet to find you collectables that we think make a fitting tribute to the Queen, whether you prefer staunchly traditional styles or something more contemporary - just scroll down to discover our picks.
Where to buy Queen Elizabeth II memorabilia
Queen Elizabeth II 1/2 Pint Mug
What better way to pay tribute to the Queen than a mug you can use every day? This 1/2 pint mug from homegrown ceramics icon Emma Bridgewater commemorates the Queen's life in a design featuring patriotic red, white and blue, along with regal crown motifs as well as nods to the home nations.
At the time of writing, the mug was listed as 'awaiting stock', but you can sign up to be notified once it's available to buy.
Rainbow Queen Mug
It is said the Queen chose outfits in a single distinctive shade so that the crowds who inevitably gathered for her public appearances could spot her even from a distance, and over decades of engagements at home and abroad, the royal wardrobe developed its own legendary status . Commemorate the monarch's distinctive fashion with this cute, contemporary mug depicting the Queen in a rainbow array of outfits in her signature style.
Queen Elizabeth souvenir velvet cushion
Not all royal memorabilia has to be in the uber-traditional style often seen on tea towels and commemorative plates. These colourful velvet cushion covers represent a more contemporary way of paying tribute to the Queen, and are available in a range of colours including classic blue, burnt orange, Queen's lilac and duck egg (above) and also as tea towels.
HRH Queen Elizabeth II - Commemorative Ornament
If you're looking for a simple, dignified tribute to the Queen's legacy, this elegant glass commemorative ornament could be perfect for you. It would also make a wonderful Christmas tree ornament - a small nod to the monarch for what will, for many of us, be our first Christmas without the Queen's Speech. Available in customisable colours of your choice.
God Save The Queen Tea Caddy
With its classic artwork and typography reminiscent of vintage posters, this pillarbox-red tea caddy looks like an antique find, but it's actually a recent design from Emma Bridgewater. We think the 'Forever Steady & True' message on the lid is a particularly appropriate nod to the Queen's lifetime of service.
Queen Elizabeth II framed portrait
Throughout the monarch's 70-year stint on the reign, staunch royalists have made a point of displaying a portrait of the Queen somewhere in their home as a sign of their admiration. If you'd like to do the same, this framed portrait of the Queen in her coronation garb back in 1953 is an especially inspiring depiction, and would look at home as a complement to a timeless and traditional decor or as a charming addition to an eclectic scheme.
God Save the Queen Mug
With its bold, graphic art style, this mug represents a more modern way to pay tribute to the Queen. The wraparound design portrays the monarch in military uniform on horseback - a fitting depiction, as she was a lifelong lover of all things equestrian - as well as a 'God Save The Queen' slogan.
