Commenting on the news of Her Majesty The Queen’s passing, Portsmouth South MP, Stephen Morgan, said:
“I am deeply saddened to hear of Her Majesty The Queen’s passing.
“Her Majesty has been the steady hand that guided us through our country’s triumphs and tribulations over an extraordinary 70-year reign – a true example of British public service.
“In the heart and home of the Royal Navy, we are grateful for her everlasting support for our Armed Forces, veterans and service families across the globe.
“The people of Portsmouth will forever remember The Queen for her dedication and devotion to the country and its people.
“The Queen was a global symbol of the very best of the United Kingdom, its values, our standing in the world and our contributions to it. Her Majesty’s work to build and strengthen ties we still hold today, across seven decades, will be the mark of an incredible legacy.
“My thoughts are with the Royal Family and all those who cared for Her Majesty on this very sad day.”
