This is a moment that we all knew would come.
We mark the passing of our Sovereign Lady at a grand old age.
She passed in the company of those she loved and in a place where she loved. She died at peace. That is all one can ask for. A deserving reward for a life well lived and a country well served.
All readers I am sure will hold His Majesty in our thoughts tonight and in the coming days.
May God Bless this exceptional lady, now reunited with her ‘rock’ and love of her very long life, Philip.
