The death of our dear respected Queen has brought much sadness to all of us.
She was a wonderfully constant presence in our lives for many decades, inspiring so many with her dedicated life of duty to our nation and the Commonwealth.
She brought qualities of national pride in times of celebration, together with service and joy throughout her long reign.
I pay tribute to her friendly warmth on a personal level; and on behalf of The Duchy of Somerset, and my family, we send our best wishes to His Majesty the King, The Queen Consort and The Royal Family.
