The whole Roedean community is saddened by the news from Buckingham Palace, and we send our sincere condolences to the Royal Family on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

All our thoughts are with the Royal Family at this time of great personal loss to them, to the nation, and to many nations around the world, as we share a profound sadness at this historic moment in all our lives. After a life time of service and duty we give thanks to her generosity of spirit and gift for bringing people together as we now enter a period of National Mourning in her honour and memory.

Her life of dedication to her family and commitment to service is an example to all.
