The Cornwall Federation of Women’s Institutes shares the nation’s grief upon the death of Her Majesty the Queen.
We have not only lost a beloved monarch, but also one of our own – a WI member. Her majesty served as a proud member of Sandringham WI since 1943, when she was Princess Elizabeth.
Over her seven decade reign, Her Majesty the Queen was unwavering in her public service, and had a tireless sense of duty. For generations of Britons, she was a constant throughout our lives and her loss will be felt profoundly, personally as well as for the nation and the world.
Above all, she was a mother, a grandmother and a great-grandmother. Our deepest sympathies are with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as we join with the rest of our country to unite in grief and mourning.
