Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022)
We would like to extend our condolences to all of the Royal Family on the passing of Her Majesty the Queen, patron of the British Olympic Association and Royal Toxophilite Society.
Her Majesty has been the Royal Toxophilite Society’s longest-serving patron. A keen supporter of UK and Commonwealth sporting endeavours her interest and backing will be much missed.
