In an interview, he described her as a compassionate person and bridge builder whose memories would remain across generations
“The beautiful and genteel face of Queen Elizabeth had long become etched in public memory across generations.
“She ascended the throne the year I was born and died on a significant date Sept. 8 which is the birthday of the Blessed Virginia Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ.
“She will be remembered as a moral force in world that has become severely fractured by hatred and other forms of extremism.
“Queen Elizabeth’s reign covered a period of massive social, economic, technological and political change.
“It saw the transformation of the once global British Empire into a Commonwealth of 52 independent nations headed by the queen and the country’s entrance into and exit from the European Union”, he added.
