The Nation is in mourning at the passing of Her Majesty the Queen.
Around the World, Britain is admired because of her service to our country and the Commonwealth.
During her reign, the Queen's sense of duty and devotion to a life of service has been a constant pillar of stability through periods of enormous social change, and many of the most significant chapters in our Nation's history.
As well as our monarch, she was a mother and a grandmother, and I know people across Redcar & Cleveland will join me in offering our sincere condolences to the entire Royal Family. Our thoughts and prayers remain with them.
Today we mourn and express our deepest gratitude, for the truly remarkable reign of Elizabeth II.
