The statement reads "This coming week, we will remember the life of Queen Elizabeth II, 100 years on from her birth.
"Her Majesty lived through an extraordinary period in world history. As Monarch, she comforted the nation in difficult times and was often at the centre of celebrations and moments of national pride.
"We look back at some of the historic events which marked her reign, and made her a constant in many of our lives."
