Clare Eason, a sand artist and retired doctor, created a tribute to the Queen on Bamburgh Beach, Northumberland for her Platinum Jubilee.

On the date of the Queen’s passing, Clare posted a somber image of the sand art being swept up by the tide.

She captioned the post: “RIP Ma’am. Monarch of our island nation, accepting the responsibility of The Throne as a young woman and serving her country right up to her last days.

“She provided a sense of continuity and calm through her consistency. Thank you.”

3. Time-lapse tribute

An Instagram account called @loveprincessdiana posted a beautiful time-lapse video of the Queen showing her from age one to 96.

The post was captioned: “RIP Your Majesty. Thank you for your service as the Queen for 70 years and for everything you have done for Britain and Commonwealth.”

Fans quickly rushed to comment under the video.

One said: “Wow! She aged gracefully. She lives a long beautiful life. May she now RIP.”

Another then said: “This is so beautiful.”

4. Tattoos of Queen Elizabeth II

Some people have gone to the extreme by getting a tattoo of Queen Elizabeth on their body.

The caption read: “Her Majesty The Queen. An outstanding remembrance portrait by Alessio. God Bless our most treasured Elizabeth II.”

5. Knitting

Others have been knitting covers for postboxes as a tribute to the late monarch.

Looks like the knitting Banksy of Tunbridge Wells strikes again.

One postbox cosy featured a large knitted crown alongside a Paddington Bear, a royal guard and a corgi.
