Conservative Group Leader Linda Taylor CC said:

“The loss of our Queen, Elizabeth II, is one that is felt in Cornwall, Great Britain, the Commonwealth and around the world.”

“Our Queen although small in stature, was a global colossus by reputation, a bright beacon among heads of state internationally, offering a lifetime of service to her grateful nation.”

“Her reign as monarch of our United Kingdom was unprecedented in length and she provided the continuity and stability on which our nation rested and grew, through the decades.”

“Our thoughts are with the Royal Family at this sad moment, as we take time over the forthcoming period of national mourning to reflect back on our Queen’s lifetime of service, and her legacy to us all.”

“God save the King.”
