The Elliot Foundation mourns the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II. A life spent in the service of others is a life to be honoured.

Grief, although it can be expressed collectively, is experienced personally. It is not our place or indeed anyone else's to tell you how to grieve. We will all feel differently about the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II. How you feel is how you feel.

During the 10 day period of national mourning our schools will remain open as normal. If a bank holiday is declared for the state funeral then schools will close on that day.
