Tribute paid to “servant leader” Queen Elizabeth II after her death aged 96

CARE has paid tribute to Her majesty Queen Elizabeth II, as it emerges that she has died at the age of 96.

The Queen passed away at her official Scottish residence, Balmoral Castle, surrounded by members of the Royal Family.

Ross Hendry, CEO of CARE, said:

“We at CARE are deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty the Queen. Our thoughts are with her children, the wider Royal Family, and all who knew her.

“Throughout her remarkable seventy-year reign, she was a gentle and stable presence in our national life, bringing encouragement to millions of people.

“The Queen will be remembered as a servant leader, devoted to the people of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and other nations across the Commonwealth.

“Her humble disposition was inspired by her strong faith in the servant king, Jesus Christ, who she followed and spoke of much throughout the course of her life.

“In modern times, faith is increasingly relegated to the private sphere. The Queen’s life is a shining example of a Christian living out their faith publicly, for the common good.”
