In Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, the country where Queen Elizabeth II found out about her accession to the throne following the death of her father George VI, passers-by mourn her passing after the 96-year-old monarch died peacefully at her Balmoral residence following a record-breaking 70 years on the throne. "It’s a sad day because Kenya was colonised by the British, so Kenyans are part and parcel of the British system, so we have a feeling about the death of the Queen", taxi driver Vincent Kamondi says.
