Statement from Windsor Mayor, Drew Dilkens on the Passing of Her Majesty

I’m deeply saddened to learn about the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II earlier today. On behalf of all Windsor residents, we extend our condolences across the entire Commonwealth.

Today, the world lost a leader with quiet influence and immeasurable grace. A family also lost their mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. For many, The Queen was a fixture throughout our entire lives. Her lifetime of service will be honoured and treasured, recognized and debated in the coming days and weeks. The Queen participated in, and lived through such significant moments in our shared history and her contributions cannot be overstated.

The passing of Queen Elizabeth II after her 70-year reign will begin several days of official mourning, commemoration and memorial events. The City of Windsor will share details regarding public memorial and commemoration events as plans are confirmed, in the days ahead.

For today, we honour the memory of a formidable public servant. God Save the Queen.
