The British monarch lost her husband last week at the age of 99.
The Queen has issued her first statement in support of the people of St Vincent and the Grenadines, where the community has been displaced by volcanic disruptions across the islands.
In the official statement, the Queen shared: "I have been saddened by the destruction and major disruption caused by volcanic eruptions in recent days, and my thoughts are with the many people and families who have been evacuated from their homes, and whose livelihoods have been affected. I send my thanks to the emergency services and all those involved in the relief effort. My prayers will remain with the people of St Vincent and the Grenadines at this very difficult time."
