Moments after Queen's demise, cloud formation resembling Her Majesty floats over UK town
Chandigarh, September 11
Britain’s longest-serving monarch Queen Elizabeth II passed away aged 96 in Scotland on September 8. She reigned for 70 years.
As the world mourned her death, a golden cloud formation in the shape of the Queen’s head was reportedly spotted over a town in the UK.
The Independent reported that a British mother Leanne Bethell captured pictures of the unbelievable formation in A4169 in Telford, Shropshire.
Leanne said her daughter Lacey was the first one to point out the formation. Her daughter said “Oh my God” repeatedly as she couldn’t believe her eyes.
“We were driving home not long after the announcement and my 11-year-old daughter was screaming and shouting,” Leanne said. “She then pointed at the sky and said mum, it’s the Queen – so I had to pull over and take some pictures,” she added.
The shape of the cloud resembled that of the monarch with her iconic hat as sunlight shone behind it.

No matter how much earthly powers try to claim it, it is still God’s symbol and he places it where he will. pic.twitter.com/O2jqSWM8VA

A final goodbye to her people from Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II – a double rainbow over Buckingham Palace and a single one over Windsor Castle.
I’d like to think the faint one over Buckingham was Prince Philip, waiting for her.💕💕#QueenElizabeth #RestinPeace pic.twitter.com/2BTtNjonkl
