This is how grief is seen in print media – British newspapers are draped in black

Queen Elizabeth was by many a beloved regent and is the one who sat the longest on the British throne.

Following her passing, ten days of mourning have now been declared in the British Commonwealth and a new royal era has begun.

And grief takes different forms.

Buckingham Palace's official website has been dressed in black, as have many British media outlets.

The Guardian, The Sun and the Financial Times are among those who draped their online reporting on the Queen in black.

The sadness of the newspapers

But in the physical editions, the sadness is even more visible.

The covers vary with older images and more recent portraits of Queen Elizabeth.

The photograph of Sir Cecil Beaton from when she was crowned Queen in 1953 has been used most for front pages, according to a compilation by BBC News.

The Sun tabloid has turned the entire front page black and written: "We loved you, ma'am" next to a black and white picture of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Daily Mirror and The Daily Telegraph follow the same path and dress their paper newspaper in black.

The Daily Express, The Daily Telegraph and The Sun choose the same image as their cover.

So do The Times, The Guardian, The i and Daily Star.

The Daily Mail, Financial Times and Metro have chosen younger pictures of the Queen for their print editions.

The sadness is present in the British media - in the clip you can see how it is expressed by the country's largest newspapers.
