London Fire Commissioner Andy Roe said: “On behalf of London Fire Brigade, I want to express our deepest sorrow at the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Our thoughts are with His Majesty The King and all of the Royal Family at this difficult time.
“Queen Elizabeth II was always a firm supporter of the emergency services and in particular the fire and rescue service. We were delighted when Her Majesty opened our Headquarters on 21 February 2008.
“I have a profound respect for Her Majesty and for the strength, dignity and leadership she has shown throughout her 70 years on the throne."
