The Queen honours Sunday Express for crusade on osteoporosis

Her Majesty applauded our Better Bones campaign and presented us with an award for helping to put the devastating condition "on the map".

At a special event in Clarence House, she described how her own mother, Rosalind Shand, died in the grip of osteoporosis.

Queen Camilla is President of the Royal Osteoporosis Society which campaigned alongside the Sunday Express for simple but life-saving measures to detect and treat the disease to be rolled out across the country.

And as a result, the Government has pledged to end the lottery for and treatment postcode diagnosis The Queen told a small gathering of campaigners and volunteers: "A huge thanks to the Sunday Express... it really has put osteoporosis on the map.

"All I can say is I just plead with you to keep going because people do read it and they do listen and it makes an enormous difference to a lot of people who would otherwise go undiagnosed." She told how her mother "died because it was never diagnosed in those days and old people were just cast aside".
