STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF LADY MARY PETERS, PRESIDENT OF THE MARY PETERS TRUST

Commenting on the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II, Lady Mary Peters LG CH DBE stated; 

“I am deeply saddened at the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II. The steadfastness of her reign will be an indelible part of history. Her reign over the Commonwealth has meant so much to sportspeople who have enjoyed friendship through sport via the legacy of the Commonwealth Games.

Her Majesty personally blessed me with many great joys, experiences and honours in my life. The most significant, being bestowed the most noble Order of the Garter as a Lady Companion in 2019 and serving as Lord Lieutenant of the County Borough of Belfast. The time I shared with her will forever be treasured.”
