We are all deeply saddened by the news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, but also so immensely proud that for seventy years she served as our Royal Patron.
Queen Elizabeth was a dedicated supporter of nursing and she championed the profession for decades, highlighting the work carried out by nurses and demonstrating a clear interest in issues facing the workforce.
Many RCN members will remember meeting her as she spent time with nursing staff both in the UK and overseas.
Please share your message of condolence or your memories with us today.

In good times & bad she demonstrated to us what serving the public means. I was so honoured to have experienced a Palace event in the presence of Her Majesty when she was alive.
Both my mum and I have wonderful memories of the Queen and her total dedication and hard work for the people both in the U K and the Commomwealth.
A wonderful role model our beautiful queen will be remembered always as a mother and Queen may she now rest in peace. Long Live the King
