It is with the deepest sadness that we learn of the death of our beloved Sovereign Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty has graciously and with total dedication reigned over the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth for more than 70 years. A truly remarkable achievement.

Queen Elizabeth was a woman of true inspiration, great wisdom, unfailing duty and kindness.

May she rest now in everlasting peace.

Our deepest condolences extend to her family.

God save The King.
