Ghana’s High Commissioner to Malta, Barbara Akoukor Benisa has joined the numerous people across the globe to mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Signing the book of condolences at the British High Commission, Madam Benisa acknowledged the late Queen’s dedication to service.

She also praised her for her remarkable 70-year leadership.

“This remarkable woman dedicated many years of her life to serve her country. The world admired her wisdom and courage and her ability to make balance decisions.

“The people of Ghana and on my own behalf our thoughts and prayers are with the Royal family especially and the government and people of United Kingdom ,” she wrote.

The death of the Queen was announced on Thursday afternoon by the Royal Family.

“The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow,” a tweet from The Royal Family noted.

His Majesty King Charles III subsequently described the Queen’s death as a moment of “greatest sadness” for him and members of the Royal Family.

A statement issued from the Buckingham Palace shortly after the death of Queen Elizabeth II read, “We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will deeply be felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.”
