Tributes continued for Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday as the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) convened for a moment of silence in honour of the late monarch.

“The sun has set on a most extraordinary reign,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said as he looked back on the queen’s legacy.

“Queen Elizabeth was a pillar without peer on the world stage for more than 70 years,” he added.

The United Kingdom’s representative to the UN said the body was an appropriate venue for tributes to Queen Elizabeth II because “she travelled to over 100 countries, forging bonds and leaving a lasting impact in every country she visited.

The funeral for Queen Elizabeth II will be on Monday, Sept. 19.
