Presiding Officer pays tribute to Her Majesty The Queen
9 September 2022
The Presiding Officer has signed a book of condolence for Her Majesty The Queen that is being placed at the Scottish Parliament for MSPs to pay their own personal tributes.
The Rt Hon Alison Johnstone MSP, Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament, said: "Her Majesty The Queen’s love of Scotland has always been clear, as has been her support for the Scottish Parliament. I know the pages of this book will reflect many personal tributes that Members of this Parliament will want to pay.
"I personally wanted to pay tribute to Her Majesty The Queen for her loyal service to her country and for her commitment to the Scottish Parliament which never wavered, even towards the end of her life."
The book will now be open for Members of the Scottish Parliament, their staff and Parliament staff to pay their respects. After the funeral of Her Majesty The Queen, the book will be sent along with a personal letter to His Majesty The King from the Presiding Officer.
Members of the public can contribute to an online book of condolence (opens in new window)
