A royal collector and superfan from Wembley shared an emotional message just hours before The Queen’s death.
Margaret Tyler, 78, of The Fairway in North Wembley, is known for dedicating her entire home to celebrating the royals.
At times her home is mistaken for a museum by passers-by as the whole house is decked floor to ceiling in memorabilia, photographs and books about the royals.
After the news of Her Majesty’s death, the royal superfan said: “Ma’am, we need you here with us.
“I was horrified hearing the news.
“One thing I dread before bed every night is a phone call in the middle of the night to tell me something has happened to her.
“I would be devastated. I’ve always loved the royal family and I always will. Ma’am, look after yourself, we need you here with us. We are here for you.”

The mother of four and grandmother of four grew up as a single child alongside two royalist parents.
She began to adopt her love for the British monarchy from a young age - and was just eight when Queen Elizabeth II was first coronated.
As Ms Tyler grew up, she only became more dedicated to the royals and has met The Queen on four occasions - who she described as each time being "so kind and sweet".
For more than four decades, Margaret has been decorating her home with every picture, trinket and piece of memorabilia imaginable.
She owns hundreds of books and pictures, as well as some more obscure items - such as cardboard cut-outs of Her Majesty and the royal corgis.
Even the front of her house features decorations - to the point it has been mistaken for a museum.
With the huge collection growing every year, the royalist said she’ll “never sell any of it”.
Over the years Ms Tyler has featured in news outlets discussing her impressive collection and her adoration for the royal family.
The royal junkie previously said she felt “lucky” to have been around to see such historical events.
