I reported on Queen Elizabeth II’s death by focusing on how the national story unfolded through a Wiltshire lens, beginning by covering the initial concerns about the Queen’s health and sharing reactions from the county as the situation developed. As the news of her death broke, I documented how people in the area mourned, capturing tributes and the mood throughout the day.

I also provided context around what was known about her cause of death and the circumstances at the time, highlighting local connections during significant moments, including the Wiltshire serviceman who helped carry the Queen’s coffin as well as looking ahead by exploring what the change in the monarchy might mean for the area, such as what Camilla could do with her Wiltshire home, which I had previously explored during my time as a Wiltshire reporter, as she became Queen Consort:

• Queen dies: Updates as Wiltshire begins mourning

• Wiltshire MPs react to Queen health concerns

• Wiltshire pays tribute through the day after Queen's death

• Queen’s cause of death: What was happening when she died

• Wiltshire serviceman who carried Queen's coffin praised
