The Queen remembered around the world as a "unifying force" as she dies aged 96

The Queen has been held up in newspapers around the world as a “unifying force” in the wake of her death. She has been described as someone who symbolised stability during decades of rapid change.

Some newspapers have chosen to concentrate on her personality while others have praised her fortitude and loyalty throughout her reign.

A 24-page commemorative magazine tribute to the “Queen of all our hearts” has been run by Newscorp across its stable of mastheads, which includes Sydney’s The Daily Telegraph, the Herald Sun in Melbourne and Brisbane’s The Courier Mail.

Alongside many pictures celebrating her life were the words “a steadfast monarch who never wavered as wars, pandemics and prime ministers came and went around her”. Nine, which oversees the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, looked at how Australia will mark the Queen’s death.

Parliament in Canberra will be suspended for 14 days, according to Chief political correspondent David Crowe, while governor-general David Hurley and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will travel to the UK for the Queen’s funeral.

Across the ditch, the Queen was praised for being the first reigning monarch to visit New Zealand.

Ex-New Zealand Woman’s Weekly editor Jenny Lynch recalled the young Queen’s smile in 1953 during a trip with her husband to a country “desperate to demonstrate our love and loyalty”.

“She had extraordinary resolve. She never deviated in her devotion to duty,” Ms Lynch wrote for Stuff, which prints Wellington’s The Dominion Post and The Press in Christchurch.

“We respected and admired her. And we never stopped loving that wonderful smile.”
