The AMOSSHE community extends its deepest condolences to the Royal Family following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The Queen has been a figurehead for this country for more than 70 years and has tirelessly dedicated her life in service, she will be deeply mourned by so many.

Throughout her reign she has been a great friend to the higher education sector and visited numerous universities across the UK. She was an ardent supporter of the value of higher education through her patronage of The Queen’s Anniversary Prizes for over three decades, she was a patron of the Association of Commonwealth Universities and promoted the impacts of higher and further education for students, communities, the economy and wider society.

Our thoughts and sympathies are with the Royal Family at this time of deep sadness and loss, she will be missed.

Information relating to public events and official proceedings following the Queen’s death will be updated on the Royal Family website, including an online book of condolence.
