The British public and admirers from around the Commonwealth and world are remembering the moment they met the Queen following Her Majesty's death at the age of 96.

There has been an outpouring of grief from many including public figures and world leaders online following Buckingham Palace's announcement this evening.

But some of the most touching tributes have come from the 'ordinary' people who met her, with many taking to social media to reminisce about the time they were fortunate enough to have an audience with Queen Elizabeth II.

One BA flight attendant said he was 'humbled' to have met the monarch at an event in 2019. 

The monarch also met her fair share of athletes, with several posting tributes to her along with photos of the time they met.

Rugby player Will Carling said he 'was truly honoured to have met the Queen a number of times.

'She was such an impressive person.'
