Friday, September 9, 2022 — The OECS Commission expresses with great sadness, its regret at the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday 8th September 2022. 

Throughout her seventy-year reign, Her Majesty was an extraordinary and inspirational leader who was admired globally for her grace, dignity, and remarkable dedication to public service. Her commitment and contributions to the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and the World, as well as her devotion to the Royal Family were indeed exemplary.
