Her Majesty The Queen: 1926 – 2022

We are deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty The Queen; our thoughts and sympathies are with The Royal Family at this terribly sad time.

Her Majesty will be remembered for a lifetime of duty, dedication and public service, a reassuring voice through many crises, and an enduring presence in our national story.

From Friday 9th of September 2022, the nation entered an official period of mourning to mark the monarch’s death. We will provide updates on the proceedings and any impact they may have on operations when they become available.

We respectfully ask that everyone is considerate to fellow users of the campus who may be affected by the sad loss of our monarch.

A national book of condolence is available to sign on The Royal Family website
