Former Prime Ministers Send Condolences on The Queen’s Death

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Former Prime Ministers Dr. Hubert Minnis and Perry Christie sending condolences on what they are calling a sad day for the country, the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and the world upon the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Former PM Dr. Hubert Minnis says he always admired Her Majesty’s deep engagement with the Commonwealth, working toward expanding the sense of unity among diverse cultures from around the world.

“Her Majesty was loved by her peoples. Her loss has caused an outpouring of grief from across the globe,” Dr. Minnis writes.

Joining in the outpouring of condolences is former Prime Minister Perry Christie, who says, “her unswerving fidelity to duty and to service over the course of seven decades was unsurpassed, and is likely to remain so.”

“Throughout her reign, Queen Elizabeth was a shining example of personal integrity, steadfastness, courage, grace and dignity that inspired successive generations,” Former PM Christie continues.

“She will be remembered with special fondness here in The Bahamas which she visited on a number of occasions, always to the delight of our people and to her unfeigned satisfaction as well. Speaking for myself personally, it was a pleasure to have been afforded the opportunity to serve non-consecutive terms as first minister of Her Majesty’s constitutional government here in The Bahamas.”
