The Royal Agricultural Society of WA Acknowledges The Passing of Queen Elizabeth II

September 9, 2022

Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II    |   1926 – 2022

Today the Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia President, Council, CEO and Staff pay our respects to the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Our condolences and thoughts are also extended to the Royal family.

The Society was honoured to have been visited by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh at the Claremont Showground in 1979 during the commemoration of The Royal Agricultural Society’s 150th birthday.

The Queen was a great supporter of the work done by the Agricultural Societies throughout Australia and her presence at the Perth Royal Show in 1979 was met with great enthusiasm by Councillors, Members and Show attendees alike.

We join Australia and the Commonwealth in remembering Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and her service to agriculture and the nation at large.
