THE QUEEN MOTHER - THE NATIONS FAVOURITE GRANNY

Britain is in mourning after the sad announcement from Buckingham Palace that, at 3.15pm on Saturday 30th March 2002, the Queen Mother passed away peacefully in her sleep.

Many generations have grown-up with the Queen Mother and saw her as a prominent, greatly admired and much-loved member of the Royal Family.

She enjoyed a long eventful life and witnessed some of the 20th Century's most significant events.

Many will remember her for her unswerving commitment to the nation, and never more so than during the Second World War.

Then, she and her husband George VI, stubbornly refused to evacuate Buckingham Palace, and their walk-abouts in the East End during the Blitz lifted the spitits of the British people during the darkest days of the war.

Her popularity never waned throughout her long life and many admired her warmth and honesty.

She will be sadly missed as she always raised a smile whenever she attended a public engagement.

Everyone at Burnley and Pendle BNP sincerely send their deepest sympathies to the Royal Family, and especially to H.M. Queen Elizabeth, who has lost her sister and her mother in the space of eight weeks.

H.M. THE QUEEN MOTHER 1900 - 2002 R.I.P.
