THE Lord Lieutenant of Wiltshire, Sarah Troughton, has paid tribute to Her Majesty The late Queen Elizabeth II, who died a year ago on 8th September 2022.
Her Majesty visited Wiltshire several times during her long reign including attending Salisbury Cathedral during her Diamond Jubilee Celebrations in 2012 and most recently visiting Porton Down in October 2020. She also regularly visited the county for military engagements, including meeting the Royal Welsh Regiment in Tidworth in 2017.
Sarah Troughton said, “A year ago our much loved and admired monarch, Her Majesty The late Queen Elizabeth II died aged 96 years of age. This anniversary is an opportunity for us to remember with respect and affection a wonderful person, admired not only in Wiltshire and Swindon but the world over. It is my privilege as HM Lord-Lieutenant of Wiltshire to invite you to pause and reflect for a moment on the memories of her long and unique reign.
“On your behalf I would also like to send our best wishes to HM King Charles III as he completes the first year of his new reign. God Save the King.”
