The staff and board of the Foreign Policy Centre would like place on record our deep sadness on the tragic passing of Her Majesty The Queen.  Throughout her many decades of service to our Country she has been a beacon for many of the values we hold dear, respected and admired around the world. Her deep commitment to the Commonwealth and her work with generations of world leaders made her the greatest ambassador around the world that the United Kingdom could have wished for. Our thoughts are with the Royal Family at this difficult time.
