The Lord Mayor, Cllr Hamza Taouzzale expressed his deep sadness on the passing of Her Majesty The Queen, saying: “The Queen served this nation dutifully for seven decades, leading us through good times and bad, with the same good grace, steadfastness and devotion throughout. Her Majesty’s example is one to be looked up to with admiration by so many, at home, abroad and throughout the Commonwealth.

“Here in Westminster, myriad past Lord Mayors of Westminster met The Queen at a host of events, from State Banquets to community engagements and her much loved garden parties. I know each and every Lord Mayor was touched by Her Majesty’s devotion to her people and commitment to this country.”

Her wisdom and ability to connect with people from all walks of life was unique. The City of Westminster mourns with the Royal Family for what is everyone’s loss.”
