Commenting on the death of the Queen, Chris Brook-Carter, CEO of the Retail Trust (pictured), said: “We are truly saddened that she has passed away. Her Majesty has been Royal Patron of the Retail Trust since 1948 and, over the past 74 years, has been a gracious supporter of the charity and the work that it does to achieve hope, health and happiness for everyone working in the UK retail sector. 

“We are very grateful to her for taking the time to make several visits to our estates and for joining us at a number of fundraising events. Her Majesty’s visits always attracted immense interest and support both for the residents and local communities.

”He added: “The Retail Trust is extremely proud, honoured, thankful and very, very lucky to have had such a long history of royal patronage from Her Majesty. She touched the lives of so many of our members' and we shall all miss her greatly. 

“We know this is a time of great upset and sadness for everyone. If you or your colleagues need any support, here are some resources. And if you’re struggling, you may benefit from speaking to a Retail Trust counsellor in confidence. We’re always here.”
