“The Queen’s passing has left a sense of loss and mourning among our members and within the veteran community and so, on their behalf, I wanted to come here today and leave a signed message of everlasting respect for her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,” MAJGEN Day said.

“As RSL Patron, the Queen held a special place in our hearts, and we are sincere in wanting to express our deepest gratitude for her 70 years of service and resolute commitment and understanding she had for all ex-service personnel.”

Since The Queen’s passing, more than 5,000 Queenslanders have travelled to Government House to pay their respects and leave messages of sympathy for the Royal Family in a condolence book.
