Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life and Legacy

Our Queen In this extra magazine, we pay tribute to a truly remarkable woman - our Queen. Elizabeth II was monarch for 70 years, during which time the world went though incredible challenges and a huge amount of change. Through it all, Her Majesty, who was as devoted to her family as she was her duty, remained steadfast and true - a rock for the UK and many more countries when we needed it most. She will be greatly missed by us all.  Stuart
