The Queen has said Scotland's vote to stay part of the UK was "a result that all of us throughout the United Kingdom will respect".
She said in a statement issued from Balmoral Castle, where she has been staying, that Britons share an "enduring love of Scotland".
The Queen said: "Now, as we move forward, we should remember that despite the range of views that have been expressed, we have in common an enduring love of Scotland, which is one of the things that helps to unite us all."
She said the outcome of the referendum followed many "months of discussion, debate, and careful thought", adding: "It is a result that all of us throughout the United Kingdom will respect."
She went on: "For many in Scotland and elsewhere today, there will be strong feelings and contrasting emotions - among family, friends and neighbours.
"That, of course, is the nature of the robust democratic tradition we enjoy in this country. But I have no doubt that these emotions will be tempered by an understanding of the feelings of others."
The Queen pledged to help the country work constructively for the future.
"My family and I will do all we can to help and support you in this important task," she said.
Her statement will be seen as part of the process of reconciliation following the heated debate by both sides during the referendum.
The Queen, who was at Balmoral when she learned the 307-year-old union will not be broken, maintains a neutral stance when it comes to politics.
The statement will have been timed to ensure all political leaders have already made their comments on the outcome.
Although the UK will remain intact, there are plans to give Scotland greater powers - and other parts of the Union.
