We are saddened to hear of the peaceful passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, at Balmoral yesterday.

Her incredible reign of over 70 years meant she was the longest ruling monarch ever, who dedicated her life to serving her country and Commonwealth.

A strong monarch to our nation but also a remarkable woman, wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.

May she rest in peace.
