Statement from RI President Jennifer Jones: "It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 2, whose dedication to humanitarian causes and unswerving commitment to peace and the environment deeply inspired Rotary members around the world, especially those in Commonwealth countries. The Queen was a supporter of Rotary’s polio eradication and humanitarian missions. She received the Rotary International Award of Honour, the organisation’s highest recognition , in December 2013 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of her Coronation. Her late husband, Prince Philip, was an honorary member of the Rotary clubs of Kings Lynn, Windsor and Eton, Windsor St George and Edinburgh Scotland. "
