THE Governor-General, David Hurley, will address the nation at 6.55pm this evening following the death this morning (September 9), in Balmoral, of the Queen.
“I join with all Australians in mourning Her Majesty The Queen’s passing and in remembering her lifetime of tireless service. She was a truly remarkable person,” he said.
“When I reflect on my own memories – she was my Queen for my whole life – I think of Her Majesty’s dignity and her compassion. Her dedication and tireless work ethic. And her selflessness and unwavering commitment to the people that she served. To us.
“Her death will sadden all Australians and will be felt around the world.
“As we mourn, we should also take inspiration from and give thanks for the remarkable contribution Her Majesty has made.”
