Goodbye, Queen Mum. (International).

Queen Mother Elizabeth, England's beloved "Queen Mum," died March 30 at age 101.

Her husband, King George VI, became Britain's monarch in 1936. He and his wife, then known as Queen Elizabeth, were widely praised for staying in London during World War II. During the 1940 bombings, the royal couple toured London each day to offer comfort and encouragement. After their home, Buckingham Palace, was bombed, the Queen said that she felt closer to her people. The bombing, she said, "makes me feel that I can look [other bombing victims] in the face."

When King George died of cancer in 1952, the couple's older daughter became Britain's reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. The photo at left shows the Queen Mother with her grandson, Prince Charles, heir to the throne; and his sons, Prince William, next in line, and Prince Harry.
