Empires don't end instantly, they fade away and the British Empire was no exception. It was the expense of WW1 which made it impossible to continue as before and this dragged on until after WW2 when most colonies, dominions and dependencies wanted their independence urgently. This was still happening in the 1960s when a lot of African colonies became their own masters.
