  • The London Symphony Orchestra is deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
    Her Majesty had been the LSO’s Patron since her accession to the throne in 1952, continuing a long association of the Sovereign with the Orchestra and its players, stretching back to its formation in 1904. 
     The Orchestra is privileged to have hosted Her Majesty at many of its concerts and events - from opening the Barbican Centre in 1982, to hosting a gala at Buckingham Palace in 2015.  The Queen was present at some of the most significant moments in our history and was a loyal and committed supporter of the orchestra throughout her reign. 
     The London Symphony Orchestra sends its condolences to the Royal Family at this sad time and joins the nation in mourning our much-loved monarch.

      It's a better National Anthem than The Star-Spangled Banner, because it's short and doesn't have excessively high notes. O, Canada is better still. But my favorite National Anthem, and it's not my own, is Advance, Australia Fair.

    A moving and elegant tribute from the London Symphony Orchestra . It truly is a dreadfully sorrowful day but tributes like this serve well to remind us of how much we had and how much we have , if only we recognise it and honour it, in tribute to our late and much beloved Queen Elizabeth. I hope that we can move forward into the new reign , supporting our new King and wonderful Queen Consort , just as Her Majesty wished for us to do . Let us never forget her unfaltering example of service , duty and honour and so again I say - support our King whom has so profoundly already as Prince of Wales, proven that he too carries and bears her values of service and duty .

      Robert Kabatoff the lyrics were written for a King and in 1952 it must have been very strange for some people to sing it for a Queen, my grandmother was born during King George V reign, so there were 3 Kings and never
      did say that she would always remember it as "God save our gracious King" it's normal for reigns to change
      and we have King and Queen regnants and our late Queen wouldn't want to be singled out.the Monarchy isn't
      about one particular Monarch, People will get used to singing it

      Thank you for your comment. I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates it, especially coming from Ukraine where you have your own troubles for which of course you are constantly in our thoughts. The Queen was an amazing person as well as our Queen and monarch not only of England, but Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland as well, and head of the commonwealth too. We had to share her just as her children had to share their mother with their countries. I hadn't realised what an impact and presence she'd been as one of the constants in my life and on her death I find all sorts of things popping up for me as I think many others are finding too. I've finally been able to grieve my Granny (memories of her taking us to see changing the guard at Buckingham Palace when we were young) is just one example and the Queens words coming from beyond the grave over the past week, as well as the reminders of the amazing things she accomplished with her 'soft power' as they call it, are truly inspirational. She is being missed not just in the country of England, but it seems in all those countries she was Queen in, and also countries where she brought her influence to bear such as Ireland (Eire). I recall her shaking hands with someone who'd been associated with the IRA. I couldn't understand that at the time. Then I read Timothy Knatchbull's words which I stumbled across, and started to change my view and understand things a bit. He has written a book now which I intend to read. I feel incredibly sad today yet also glad and thankful for the words she spoke during her lifetime, and for her interest and support for those things that are eternal. My thoughts are also with HM King Charles 3 as he starts his new job. And yes this is a lovely tribute to HM the Queen isn't it? I read that King Charles played not only Cello at his university but also learnt trumpet at his school, so as first of our royals to attend a school I hope music will now gain importance in the education of children in the British Isles. Thank you for your message and wishing every support to you in the Ukraine. I hope peace will come soon.

      Jennifer Rees Davies: We’ll said Jennifer. You handled the “England, English” thing very well, especially since your name suggests you are from Wales? … which I am also. Doesn’t particularly bother me being called “English”, though I suspect the Scott’s would be up in arms (can’t blame them). Don’t mind anyone from Ukraine making such an error because it’s not that relevant when you are fighting for your life - all support and admiration for them under attack! Can’t believe what they are going through……

    A superb and moving tribute by Sir Simon and the LSO. Thank you for posting this. The late Queen represented so many qualities that have, for the most part, disappeared from our society these days. A symbol of faith, hope, and courage in adversity; not just personally, but nationally and internationally. Her selfless devotion to her family, nation, and Commonwealth, shone as a beacon throughout her long reign. Her patronage of the arts will be handed on into the safe hands of her eldest son, King Charles the Third. Long live the King and long live our London Symphony Orchestra.

      @@fiacchi that really is so untrue. Have you any knowledge of the things she did, the things she said, the comfort she brought to people in their time of need. It was the Queen who visited Grenfell Tower with Prince William and did so much good there. She was a truly brave and courageous woman though I might be glad she didn't get to drive me around her estate as I can be an anxious passenger. I really hope you will find out about some of the amazing things she did. She was not just a Queen Mother Parent Daughter Wife. She was a person, small in stature but with great spunk. I hesitate to say rather like her dogs, but she has my utmost respect. If I were half as courageous as she has shown herself to be I would be well pleased. Sir Simon and LSO, I have always enjoyed your performances especially the live ones and thank you to all those who took part including those behind the scenes for this video. I will share it with my overseas friends.
