SUMMARY:Statement from MfE Chair
DESCRIPTION:MfE Founder\, Angela Kay\, the trustees and staff of “Music for Everyone” would like to extend our sincere condolences to the King and Queen Consort and the entire Royal Family\, for their personal loss. We are deeply saddened at the news of The Queen’s death\, and we join the nation in mourning Her Majesty’s passing and also in celebrating her remarkable life of service and duty. \nAfter wide consultation and in line with official guidance\, we intend to go ahead with our singing and music group activities next week and throughout the national mourning period. \nHowever\, there will be a minute’s silence of reflection at the start of each session\, and MfE groups and activities on the day of The Queen’s funeral will be cancelled. The MfE office will also be closed. \nOn behalf of the MfE family\, we offer the Royal Family our heartfelt condolences and share with them our grief at their loss. \nJohn Hess \nChair\, MfE Trustees
