We are very saddened to hear of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Her unwavering service to the country, support for communities, charities and volunteers and her warmest of smiles will forever be remembered. We remember the huge sense of pride when Her Majesty & HRH Prince Philip visited North Berwick and the Scottish Seabird Centre to present our volunteers with the Queens Award for Enterprise in 2009. Our sincere condolences go out to the whole Royal Family at this very sad time.
