In memory of our Royal Patron Her Late Majesty The Queen.
September 16, 2022
Our office closed on Monday 19th September 2022 for Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral
Her Late Majesty The Queen was the RSBC’s Royal Patron and on Monday 19th September, we observed the national holiday to mark The Queen’s funeral.
At the Royal Society for Blind Children, we are deeply saddened by the death of our much-loved Patron.
Our thoughts over the last week have been with her family, her loved ones, and all those who mourn her passing. But we also remember the amazing and lasting impact of Her Late Majesty The Queen on so many people’s lives.
In memory of our Royal Patron, Her Late Majesty The Queen
We have set up an online page in memory of Her Late Majesty The Queen, where you can share your special memories, tributes and thank you messages.
