Statement on the death of Queen Elizabeth II

Trinity College London joins the nation in mourning the loss of our beloved Queen Elizabeth II, and we extend our deepest condolences to the entire royal family at this time.

Her Majesty, who celebrated her Platinum Jubilee in June of this year, was Britain’s longest serving monarch. The importance of her place in the national consciousness, and that of the wider Commonwealth, cannot be overstated – she will be sorely missed.

As a mark of our respect for Her Majesty, and for our royal patron HRH The Duke of Kent, Trinity will be joining others in entering a period of social media silence across all our UK-based channels.

Our thoughts are now with King Charles III as he leads the nation through this period of mourning.
