“Her Majesty The Queen was an unwavering supporter of the Commonwealth Games throughout the seven decades of her reign including Birmingham 2022 where Commonwealth Games Barbados was also pleased to compete. The Queen and the Commonwealth Games Federation had a strong and enduring relationship. Her solid leadership made her a pivotal figure in sport among the nations of the Commonwealth, and her passing will be felt throughout the community. Commonwealth Games Barbados expresses condolences to His Majesty King Charles III, The Queen Consort and the entire Royal Family. Our thoughts and prayers, and that of our sporting fraternity, are with them at this sad time”.
