Statement from David L’Herroux, UCB’s CEO

Following the news that Her Majesty The Queen has passed away, I wanted to share a short reflection on her remarkable life. The Queen was the longest serving monarch in British history, and for many, her death will be received with great sadness. The Queen has served our country and the Commonwealth for over 70 years, and during that time, she has dedicated herself to a life of service and devotion. Throughout her life, she has spoken openly about her strong faith and how this has helped guide and sustain her. Many of us have been greatly blessed and encouraged by The Queen’s willingness to share her faith so publicly, and today, we share in the nation’s grief at the passing of a great lady of passion and faith.

Let’s pray for The Queen’s family at this time. They have lost their mother, their grandmother, their great-grandmother, and their friend. We thank God for her life and for all that she has done to raise awareness of many important causes. As we gather to remember and honour the great life of The Queen, I am reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 5 when He said ‘Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted’. We know that in times of loss and grief, the Lord is the Great Comforter, and He sustains those who turn to Him.
