An extraordinary legacy!

We are deeply saddened by the news of Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth II passing today, aged 96 years old.

Queen Elisabeth was born in 1926, but was never destined to be the Queen of England. Her destiny changed at the death of her grandfather and abdication of her uncle, her father became the King. Even though Queen Elisabeth had no apprenticeship before she became the Queen, she was constantly on duty, dedicated in her role as monarch, and devoted wife and mother. Queen Elisabeth was the voice of reason, generosity and compassion. She was a cherished sovereign.

We honour Queen Elisabeth II unwavering 70-year long service and her extraordinary legacy.
