Official statement on the death of Her Majesty The Queen

We would like to express our condolences and deepest sympathy to the Royal Family on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

Over the years, the Queen’s generous support of Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeals – including those run by Action Against Hunger – has saved the lives of thousands of people.

Thank you for your service to the nation and to many countries around the world.

Jean-Michel Grand, Executive Director of Action Against Hunger UK, said:

“It is with the greatest sadness that we heard that Her Majesty the Queen has died. She has been one of the greatest leaders of the 20th and 21st centuries. Her devotion to duty, her strong values, the care and kindness she demonstrated for the British people and her generosity to charities will and should remain an inspiration for all of us and for future generations.”
