The Chief Constable of Thames Valley Police said it had been a privilege to protect the Queen while she was at Windsor Castle.

In a statement issued following her death on Thursday, September 8, John Campbell said it was with great sorrow that he was sharing the force’s condolences.

“The Queen has ruled for longer than any other Monarch in British history and Thames Valley Police has had the privilege of protecting The Queen whilst in residence at Windsor Castle,” he said.

“Moreover the Force has a long and proud history of policing Royal events from the annual Windsor Garter Ceremony, The Queen’s 90th birthday, Jubilee celebrations, and the funeral of His Royal Highness Prince Philip.

“On behalf of the whole of Thames Valley Police, I offer our deepest condolences to all of the Royal Family and members of the Royal Household.

“It has been the Force’s honour to serve Her Majesty.”
