The Governor-General's National Address on the occasion of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
"Today we mourn the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
"The news of her passing, while we knew it to be inevitable, has still shocked, prompted reflection and an outpouring of affection.
"What is clear is that even though her life has ended, her example to us all has not.
"That example of selfless service, devotion to duty and compassion for others is both an enduring legacy and a gift to us all."
