Airport staff and cruise operators linked to Her Majesty's reign join tributes

The UK's biggest airport which has long been linked to Queen Elizabeth, has said its staff were distraught following the news of her death. Terminal 2 at Heathrow Airport was christened "The Queen's Building" nearly 60 years after opening the original hub.

A Heathrow spokesperson said: “All of us at Heathrow are saddened to hear that Her Majesty the Queen has passed away. We offer our condolences to the Royal Family, the British public and the nations of the Commonwealth at this time.

"We're thankful to have shared many key milestones with Queen Elizabeth II during her life, including welcoming her warmly in 1952 when she arrived back from Kenya as our Queen. The world has lost an irreplaceable person and our country, one of its greatest.”
