“Her Majesty’s reign was a source of constant stability in a world of rapid change and the impact of her passing will be deeply felt across our city.”
“Aberdeen has been very fortunate to have had such a close bond with The Queen and we fondly remember Her Majesty’s many visits to the city and the warm, generous spirit which was always so forthcoming to those lucky enough to meet her.”
“Her Majesty’s life was underpinned by faithful commitment to duty, and unswerving devotion to this country and its people. In remembering The Queen’s extraordinary life, we should all take time to pause and reflect on our own lives, our own personal values and our own duty to society.”
“Whilst this is a time of great public sorrow, it is also a time of immense personal grief for The Queen’s family who have lost a beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother. My thoughts are with all members of the Royal Family at this very sad time, and I have written to His Majesty The King expressing the deepest sympathies of the whole city.”
