“I know, like us, our communities will also be feeling incredibly saddened by the passing of our Monarch who has been a source of enduring inspiration throughout her 70-year reign.

“Her Majesty’s death is particularly poignant for us, as Crown Servants, as every officer takes an oath to serve the Queen.

“We will remember her as a guiding light for us all throughout times of prosperity and also through times of uncertainty and challenge.

“We will be doing all we can to support our communities over the coming days as we all come together to remember Her Majesty and celebrate her life and her long and illustrious reign.
