Royal Life Saving Queensland is deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

We wish to express our deepest condolences, and send our thoughts and prayers to all members of the Royal Family and friends.

Queen Elizabeth was the longest-reigning monarch in British history, and had served as our Commonwealth patron since 1952.

We reflect with great admiration and eternal gratitude on her patronage, and her deep commitment to our lifesaving mission.

From the joy of the RLS Junior Respiration Award pinned proudly on her swim suit at age 12, to her most recent presentation of honours to colleagues, and everything in between. Her support has been deeply felt, much cherished and of great inspiration.

Rest In Peace.
