Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

(21st April 1926 – 8th September 2022)

We were extremely sad to hear of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II yesterday afternoon, after a
lifetime of service to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. She was the longest reigning monarch in
our country’s history, and very few members of our school community will remember life without her as our
Queen. At Laureate, we particularly remember her visit to Newmarket in 2016, when our children lined the
streets and the red carpet to wave flags and watch her pass by; and our Platinum Jubilee street party last
term, when we celebrated her 70th anniversary as our sovereign. We send our sincere condolences to the Royal
Family, and our good wishes to His Majesty King Charles III as he begins his reign.
