The Hockey Museum mourns the passing and reflects warmly on the life of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. The thoughts of our trustees, staff and volunteers are with the Royal Family, and we offer our condolences to England Hockey’s patron, Her Royal Highness the Countess of Wessex, daughter-in-law of the Queen.
Queen Elizabeth II was patron of the All England Women’s Hockey Association (AEWHA) from 1979. She attended the England women’s hockey match against Wales at Wembley Stadium in 1981 (pictured) to be greeted by 62,000 of her adoring subjects.
Rest in peace, Your Majesty. God save the King.
