Reacting to the passing of the monarch, the Highland MSP said: "The passing of Her Majesty The Queen is deeply sad news, and my immediate thoughts are with those closest to her who now mourn the loss of a mother, grandmother and great grandmother as well as a monarch.

“The Queen has exemplified resilience, faithfulness, humility, respect and grace – values which should be celebrated, cherished and aspired to. She lived a life of immense and constant service from beginning to end.

“As the First Minister has already said, it is a profoundly sad moment for the UK, the Commonwealth and the world.”
