It reads:
Since 1952, our country, and the world, have changed dramatically. Yet, through all the decades that have since passed, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was a shining beacon of stability, a reasssuring presence in all our lives.
Our longest-reigning monarch epitomised the very best of our values: she was selfless, devoted to duty and with a profound sense of public service that will forever be an inspiration to people.
For my generation, she was of our grandparents’ age: those who endured the wartime years and whose experience, support and wisdom benefited us all.
It was a privilege of a lifetime for me when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II appointed me to her Privy Council last year.
Across Torfaen, as we mourn Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, we thank her for extraordinary service, and send our condolences to all members of the Royal Family.
