Britain's furniture and joinery manufacturers and suppliers have been expressing their gratitude and respect for The Queen, who passed away peacefully at Balmoral on Thursday aged 96.
Queen Elizabeth II was this country's longest reigning monarch and she dedicated her adult life to service – to her throne and to her people – with an unwavering sense of duty, humility and grace. She was a constant in all our lives and although she will be missed, she will also be fondly remembered, not just here in the UK but also all around the world.
The nation is now in a period of National Mourning for which extends to the end of the day of the State Funeral which takes place Monday 19th September, which has also been designated a Bank Holiday.
Although there are no physical books of condolence at Royal Residences, there is a Book of Condolence on the Royal family website, and there will be opportunities at many town halls and other locations across the country.
RIP Queen Elizabeth II – Thank you for your loyal service.
