Queen Elizabeth II leaves a lasting impression on Saskatchewan
She is the only Sovereign most of us have known. Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96, peacefully at Balmoral Castle on Thursday, Sept. 8, 2022.
“Its fair to say this is a very historic occasion indeed,” Michael Jackson, the former Chief of Protocol for Saskatchewan said.
“She’s been Queen for 70 years and that is an all-time record for the British monarch and we’ll never see anything like it again.”
For 25 years, it was Jackson’s responsibility to organize the visits by members of the royal family when they came to Saskatchewan. For his years of offering service, the Queen promoted him to Commander of the Royal Victorian Order – the highest level open to Canadians. Now retired, Jackson spends his time as the president of the Institute for the Study of the Crown in Canada.
