Message from Priory CEO, Rebekah Cresswell:

It is with great sadness that we learnt of the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty was an inspiring leader and dedicated public servant, who made a positive impact on countless lives throughout her 70 year reign. She was also a warm and loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

The Queen was our beacon of light in turbulent, dark times and her frequent visits to hospitals along with her thoughtful care for those who helped others was exemplary. It showed her ability to reach out to people from all backgrounds and walks of life in moments of crisis. Her dignity, compassion and constancy were unparalleled and an example for us all to follow.

On behalf of Priory, I offer our heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family.
