Floods of tributes have been pouring in from Jersey's politicians to Her Majesty the Queen, who died this afternoon at Balmoral.
A number used social media to share their sadness at the passing of the long-serving Monarch.
On behalf of the Government of Jersey and Council of Ministers, I share our Island's deep sense of loss on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty's dutiful reign was an inspiration to Islanders and leaves a permanent, inspiring legacy.https://t.co/zihHzHsllU

This is an incredibly sad day for so many around the world who admired Queen Elizabeth II for her lifetime of public service. It is unlikely we will ever see such dedication from a head of state again in our lifetimes.

Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II was the Queen before I was born. I can recall seeing her on TV as a teenager. I thought of her as the beloved grandmother of the nation. My deepest sympathies are with the Royal family. May she rest in peace.

Very sad to learn of the death of the Queen. May she rest in peace with the late HRH Prince Philip. My sympathy for members of the Royal Family.

RIP Queen Elizabeth II. A shining example of dignified leadership and public service. She was the ultimate feminist icon and a role model to women and girls throughout the Commonwealth. pic.twitter.com/A4Gw26usnZ

Her Majesty leaves behind 4 children, and despite how old they may be, to lose a parent must be an unimaginable pain, even when we anticipate it.

A mother. Grandmother. Great-grandmother. A cherished sovereign. An inspiration around the world. Here in Jersey La Reine, Notre Duc – the Queen, Our Duke. My thoughts tonight are with the Royal Family and all who loved and admired her. pic.twitter.com/elPz0BF4pc

Nobody in public office , however diminutive, can fail to conceal being emotionally moved by the death of Her Majesty the Queen. Her assiduous dedication to duty for 70 years has gone well beyond the call of duty and that deserves the deepest admiration. pic.twitter.com/p0qBKKGZhB

We should not forget that behind the public rôle of Monarch, was a remarkable woman in her own right, a real human being.
