Guðni Th. Jóhannessson, forseti Íslands, og Katrín Jakobsdóttir, forsætisráðherra, eru á meðal þeirra þjóðarleiðtoga sem minnast Elísabetar Bretlandsdrottningar, sem lést í dag, 96 ára að aldri.
Guðni sendir Bretum samúðarkveðjur og segir að drottningarinnar verði ávallt minnst og hún dáð.
Katrín sendir bresku þjóðinni einnig samúðarkveðjur og segir að Elísabet hafi verið sterk og hugrökk kona. „Ég mun muna eftir forvitni hennar og hlýju.“
The greatest monarch of our times has passed away. H.M. Queen Elizabeth II will always be remembered and admired for her dignity and selfless devotion. On behalf of all Icelanders I send deep condolences to the @RoyalFamily, the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
