Hampshire Cultural Trust joins the nation in the mourning of our late Sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Our sadness at this time is shared by millions across the globe, as we remember with gratitude her lifetime of service. Elizabeth II was Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, serving the nation with devotion for 70 years since 1952.
