> “Her Majesty was a very graceful and elegant lady. She will forever be an icon
> of strength and resilience for our nation. My thoughts are with all of The Royal
> Family at this difficult time.
>  
> “Earlier this year, we all celebrated Her Majesty’s Jubilee, and keeping with 
> the celebratory nature of the campaign, we will be celebrating the Queen’s charity
> work throughout UK Charity Week in December.
>  
> “This is our tenth year and, of course, the Jubilee year; we were always going
> to be doing something special to mark the occasion. It feels very fitting and 
> natural to pay our respects in this way to our wonderful monarch who has served
> so many charities over the years.”
