THe Bishop of Worcester has paid tribute to The Queen shortly after her death was announced
Dr John Inge said: “I was immensely sad to learn of the death of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
"She has been on the throne since before most of us were born and has been a constant source of strength, stability and inspiration throughout her long reign.

"She has been the glue which has held this country and the Commonwealth together and I give heartfelt thanks for her life of selfless service.
"That service was undergirded and enabled by a deep Christian faith and we now commend her to the God in whom she believed, whose love is stronger than death, as we also pray for members of the Royal Family, particularly our new King.
