Iain Macaulay, Lord Lieutenant of the Western Isles has issued a message of condolence following the death of Queen Elizabeth yesterday.
Mr Macaulay sent deep sympathy to all the members of the Royal Family on the sad passing of HM The Queen.
He said: “The Queen has been a symbol of stability for the past 70 years as monarch, providing an outstanding example of service, dedication and Christian faith.
“During this extraordinary long reign, the longest of any British Sovereign, the world has seen many changes and her passing will have a significant impact in the UK, across the Commonwealth and throughout the world.”
He added: “In this period of mourning and reflection, we acknowledge the strong and close connection between HM the Queen and her people. Communities across the Western Isles fondly remember with great pride The Queen’s visits to these islands in 1956, 1979 and 2002.
“We look back with gratitude and great respect for the Queen’s wonderful achievements in her long reign and offer our support and loyalty to the King.”
