Liz and Christine's friendship goes back to their early 20s working at P&O in London. Christine remembers Liz's great sense of humour and fun. Apparently they frequently got told off by the supervisor for talking and laughing! Christine recalls many happy times in Wiltshire, walking on Salisbury Plain with Liz and the many dogs, whilst Christopher and Tony knocked walls down, plastered and painted. Liz's cooking and hospitality were legendary in our family and Liz and Christopher were sorely missed when they moved back to NZ. Christine always enjoyed Liz's letters and news and in later years was thrilled to catch up by video chat and see Liz again. Christine remembers Liz as a great friend who will be dearly missed, and sends her love and sympathy to Alexandra and family.

Dearest Liz, what a wonderful neighbour and friend you have been in our time at Kaipara flats. Your are a cherished part of our family. Sharing in our joys and sorrows. Loving and accepting each one of us. Your wise candour, your humor and grace, your warm welcome and gentle presence and your kind listening ear were a consistent presence in our lives for the past 20 years. Thank you. Love and fond memories always. Sorry we couldn't enjoy another walk. I will miss you. Themis

Liz always had such a jollity about her, an infectious smile and a great enjoyment of company, at choir, at church and at home. She was a fantastic story teller and has us laughing still at some of the stories she told over a glass or two. May you rest in peace Liz.

For dear Liz, wonderful memories commencing from school days at Diocesan in Epsom and happy times shared and in England as well. Wonderful entertaining skills, outstanding meals and hospitality combined with a sense of humour. It has been our great privilege to have enjoyed our long association and friendship. Rest in Peace Liz with our warmest thoughts and love. Stephen, Joan and Andrew Poole. 20th September 2022

Over the years that Mandy and I knew Liz she was unfailing in her gentle demeanour, kindness and generosity. After losing her beloved Chris, Liz maintained her quiet grace and her insightful humour still shone through - despite the sadness of her loss. It always seemed to me that Liz represented something of a past time where people were measured by their strength of character, cheerful stoicism and being the best version of themselves in the face of any situation that life presented. Perhaps it is poignant that her passing coincides with the loss of another royal 'Liz' - both so representative of their time and place. Mandy and both extend our sincere condolences to Alex and all her family.

Dear Liz, I have the very fondest memories of you from when I was a teenager, coming to your cottage to see Alex and being so welcomed by you both. I remember usually having a very large G&T thrust into my hand on arrival. I remember always laughing with you and Chris, your delicious meals you fed me, staying over and waking to the sounds of the bells from the church next door, surrounded by 7 dogs in my bed, with more amazing smells wafting up from the kitchen. I loved working with you and Alex when you ran the restaurant at Wilton House (it has never been as good there since!), where we also laughed a lot! I send my love to my dear friend Alex and her children and thank you for being such a happy memory from those days.

I too enjoyed singing in the same choir and worshipping at Kaipara Flats Church with Liz. She had a wonderful sense of humour, and a positive spirit even during the painful times of her life. I loved listening to her deep English accent. I feel sad that I cannot say goodbye at her memorial, but I will be with her in spirit. God bless you Liz, and rest in peace.

We sang together in North Soul and worshipped together at St Albans Kaipara Flats. Liz had the most beautiful English accent and was a delight spend time with, full of charming stories of her past life in the UK and her connection to the Royal family. My last memory of her will be having dinner at her house in August this year with my husband Iain and friend Ted. We drank red wine, we laughed and we ate a sumptuous meal together. Liz really knew how to cook pork! It was a delightful evening filled with light and love. Rest In peace dear Liz. You will be sorely missed but to have known you, I count as a privilege.

Liz and I sang together at choir and we shared the same sense of humor. She was charming, funny and a delight to sing alongside. Rest in Peace Liz x

Dear Liz - gone too soon really - I was looking forward to that dinner you suggested and knew it would be a laugh a minute. Loved having shared times and laughter and getting to know you in the last few years. But glad you are at peace.

Liz and I sang together often, at church and choir. I will always remember her charm, wit and stoicism. She was always such good company and will be very much missed.
