Zara Beeden RGN, DN, CM, QN, Exmoor

It means so much to be a Queen’s Nurse and to continue bearing her name as a nurse every day. Queen Elizabeth II touched many lives for the better. Her personal encounters were often when people were at their most vulnerable. I will always remember meeting her just three months into my nurse training, as a grieving daughter. She brought some comfort in my deepest pain. I take inspiration from her faithful service and extraordinary legacy of feminine leadership, hoping to be a small reflection in my own ordinary way.

Eleanor Willis, Hertfordshire

You truly are the beacon that we all inspire to be. On reflection I can see many comparisons between yourself and a nurse. Both work tirelessly with such care and compassion. Never giving up and always trying to find solutions. A great role model with so much wisdom. Not always being valued, at times taken for granted. Your passing has shown us the importance of leadership and bringing people together in a United way. Never prouder to be a Queen's Nurse

Becky Wych, Southwest

1952 the headmistress of the village school in Hurst Green Lancashire announced “The King is dead. Long live the Queen." You did live to be our beloved Queen for 70 years, admired and loved throughout the world and for this, we thank you. I have always admired how you handled difficult times and for myself confronting life’s challenges in the future I shall think “what would Her Majesty have done?” My condolences to all the family.

Patsy Stewart, South London

Thank you for your seventy years of steadfast service and your patronage of our Institute. Your unstinting work for all of us has been an inspiration and one which, as a Queen's Nurse, I have tried to emulate. My condolences to all the Royal Family and may you rest in peace.

The Queen was one of a kind and a true leader for all, I was lucky enough to go to Crathie Church in Scotland years ago when she attended with her children, similar ages to me and my five siblings. We all remember picnics one side of the River Dee and they were often on the other side.
The Queen's Nurse Title is both an honour and an inspiration and I often think of the Queen on her picnic, as I wear my badge and lanyard with pride. Rest in peace with your beloved Philip. Thank you.

I had never met you in person, but would seem I know you very well, with the impact you had on me, both, as an individual and professionally. As a community nurse , I realised what it meant to serve the community whole heartedly and to the best of one's ability, from you. You did that to the very end. What a mighty beacon you are. May your soul rest in peace.

Maureen Downes, East Grinstead

I have been in public service as a Registered Nurse since I was 21 years old and I now lead a brilliant nursing charity. I feel so lucky and honoured to be awarded the Queen’s Nurse title in 2010 and was the first Health Protection Nurse to be inducted into the QNI. I wear my broach as often as I can and feel so proud to be a Queen’s Nurse every day. In 2013, I was awarded an MBE for services to nursing and for my work during the London Olympics by Her Majesty. How lucky am I? Thank you.

What an incredible reign; and a pretty turbulent ride in places too.

May Queen Elizabeth’s influence, and teaching flow smoothly amongst those who are to now take the lead, and may her presence never be forgotten. In being reunited with your very own Prince, may you now rest in peace and harmony. God bless you Queen Elizabeth 💜

May King Charles III and the entire family be comforted with the great memory they shared – just like we all are!
I am very proud to be associated with Queen Elizabeth because she stands for everything one wants in a wonder woman. She was elegant, and also had great integrity.
She carried herself with great demeanor even in the face of adversity – when everything around her seem to be crumbling, she stood tall and firm, and resolved things in her own way, using divine wisdom. I admired her mostly in the way she demonstrated her faith and work hard to follow her faith and belief in reducing barriers and also demonstrating discipleship in terms of forgiveness and reconciliation.
