Statement on the death of her late Majesty, The Queen

A statement on the death Queen Elizabeth II was issued by Dr John Kittmer, Chair of Council, on behalf of all members of the Council.

 John Kittmer, Chair of the Council on behalf of all the Council:
The Council of the League is profoundly moved and saddened by the death of Her Late Majesty The Queen. We grieve her loss and give thanks for her life. We join the whole nation in mourning for her. We know that this sentiment will be widely shared among our membership and, as Chair of Council, I have written, on behalf of the Council and our members, to His Majesty The King to express our sympathy and condolences to him and the Royal Family, and to convey our good wishes for his reign. Like his late mother, who travelled to Greece shortly before her own accession to the throne, the King knows Greece well and will, we may hope, want to maintain his associations with the Greek people amid his new responsibilities. I have also written to our Chief Patron HRH Prince Michael of Kent to express our condolences to him as a cousin of the Queen and member of the Royal Family. God Save The King.
