Message from His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire
The Countess Howe

"Following the death of Queen Elizabeth the Second, I offer on behalf of Buckinghamshire residents my sincere condolences to His Majesty The King and to all the members of the Royal Family. 

The remarkable 70-year reign of the late Queen has been characterised by her devotion to duty in the service of her people.  Her deep affection for the Commonwealth, and her extraordinary capacity to act as a global leader have given rise to expressions of admiration, affection and condolence from all over the world. 

We shall remember Her Majesty for her special qualities; her empathy, her humility, her wisdom and her faith. She provided stability and continuity in an ever changing world and gave encouragement and support to so many during periods of adversity. 

We honour and celebrate Her Majesty for her dignity, her grace and above all her constancy.  She had an unfailing sense of service and duty which endured to the end.  We have lost a true servant of this country and the Commonwealth, and our grief knows no bounds.

We extend our deepest sympathy to His Majesty as we each hold in our hearts our own memories of the greatest servant of our nation."

Cllr Dev Dhillon, Chairman of Buckinghamshire Council, said:

“It is with great sadness that Buckinghamshire Council hears of the death of Her Majesty The Queen. We send our deep condolences to the Royal Family on behalf of the residents of Buckinghamshire.

“Her Majesty’s reign witnessed many milestones in the history of this country and the Commonwealth and more changes in the way we live our lives than any previous reign. We express gratitude for Her Majesty’s life of dedication and service to the British people.”

Chesham and Amersham’s local MP, Sarah Green, said:

“I am saddened to hear of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She gave a lifetime of service to this country with grace and determination.

“Those who were lucky enough to meet her have told me of her warmth and kindness.

“As a sign of respect for our time of national mourning I will be postponing my constituency engagements. Private surgery appointments to help people in need will still be going ahead.

“My thoughts are with Her Majesty’s family and all affected by her loss.”

Greg Smith MP for Buckingham.

"The saddest news. Words can not adequately express the the exceptional service she has given us. May she rest in peace. God Save The King."
