The end of an eraTrouble viewing email? Open in browser [[link removed]]

Dear John,

We at CPRE, the countryside charity, are deeply saddened to learn of the death
of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We were honoured to have her as our patron
throughout her long reign and today marks the end of an era for us all.

As CPRE chief executive, yesterday, I sent condolences on behalf of CPRE to the
Royal Family and support to our new King.

As our patron, the Queen showed her love for the countryside for many years,
helping CPRE celebrate its 80th birthday and other significant occasions and
providing hugely valued support.

Since she became our patron 70 years ago, Her Majesty took a keen interest in
our work, sending regular messages of encouragement. Most memorably, hosting
CPRE anniversary events at Windsor Great Park in 2001, and St James’s Palace, in
1976 and 2006. On each occasion, she was keen to spend as much time as possible
chatting to our volunteers about their local countryside.

CPRE is very grateful for the commitment Her Majesty gave us, which will be long
remembered and honoured by both the national charity and our network of local
groups.

We are all mourning someone who has been so much part of the life of the nation
that it is hard to imagine public life without her steadying hand and reassuring
voice. We should all pause to remember the huge contribution the Queen has made
to the nation, to our countryside and to all the important causes she has
supported over her many decades as monarch.

It is the end of an era for the country and for CPRE – and one we are truly
grateful to have been a part of.

With best wishes,

Crispin
