THE INDEPENDENT: The Queen has expressed "deep sympathy" for the families and friends of people killed in the storms that have hit Alabama and the southern United States.
In a message to US president Barack Obama, released by Buckingham Palace, the Queen said: "I have been appalled and saddened to hear of the tragic loss of life caused by the terrible storms that have hit Alabama and the south of the United States.
"Please pass on my deep sympathy to the families and friends of all those who have been killed and to all those who have been affected."
The Queen's message comes after the storms last week flattened homes in a stretch from Mississippi to Virginia. » | PA | Wednesday, May 04, 2011
