The British Red Cross is remembering their Patron, Queen Elizabeth II, who strongly supported the organization for more than 70 years.
In a moving tribute, the British Red Cross praised Queen Elizabeth for her enduring support of the Red Cross around the globe.
“Countless Red Cross appeals for disasters and tragedies have benefited from her generous donations. Most recently, Her Majesty donated to the National Emergencies Trust Coronavirus Appeal and the Tonga earthquake appeal in 2022,” the organization said on Thursday after news of her passing was announced.
“The Queen has also been a source of support and comfort to people during some of the toughest times in their lives.” Read full details of this long-enduring relationship here.
