Councillor Andrew Morgan OBE (Rhondda Cynon Taf), WLGA Leader said:

"It is with profound sadness that we learn of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Her loss will be felt by the many causes across Wales she touched over 70 years of loyal service."

"Queen Elizabeth will be remembered as a towering figure of global modern history. But legions of Welsh people will fondly recall her constant reassurance to countless local communities in good times and bad."

"On behalf of Welsh local government, we extend our sincerest condolences to His Majesty the King and the Royal Family in their grief."
