The history of Queen Mary University of London is tied closely to The Royal Family. Indeed, we take our name from Queen Mary of Teck, the wife of King George V.
As a mark of respect, Queen Mary University of London has lowered the flag outside the Queens' Building to half-mast and we will be opening a book of condolence for students and staff to sign.
Our President and Principal will be sending a letter of condolence to the Chancellor of the University of London, Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal.
Professor Colin Bailey, President and Principal of Queen Mary University of London said: "This is an incredibly sad moment for the Queen Mary community as it is for the country and the Commonwealth. As Monarch, the Queen has been a constant in all of our lives. We will take the time, as a University community, to reflect on and observe this moment together."
