THE Queen has sent a message of support for those affected by the Tasmanian bushfires.
"I would like to convey my deep concern for all those who have been affected by the devastating bushfires that have caused widespread destruction across Tasmania," Her Majesty said in a statement.
"I send my sympathy to those people who have lost their homes or livelihoods in the fires, and offer my support and admiration for the fire fighters, volunteers and emergency services officers who have been working tirelessly to contain the situation."
Prince Charles also sent a personal message of support.
"Having visited Tasmania so recently, and retaining countless fond and happy memories of all those we met, my wife and I were profoundly saddened to hear of the appalling bushfires which have caused such dreadful damage and despair across the island," His Royal Highness said.
"However inadequate these sentiments may be under such awful circumstances, we wanted you to know that our hearts go out to all those whose lives, properties and businesses have been affected by those terrible fires. Our special thoughts and prayers are with them at such a desperate time."
Tasmanian Governor Peter Underwood said his thoughts and those of his wife were with the thousands of people affected.
"Many of you are no doubt still in a state of shock, trying to come to terms with the loss, in a single stroke, of your home, your possessions and, in some cases, your livelihood," he said.
"To stand in the face of a bushfire is terrifying. To have to flee, leaving the fire to consume the house that has been your home for many years, wiping out the personal possessions, photos, books, gifts and mementos that have marked the years of your life, can only be described as utterly devastating.
"Tasmania is a small, close-knit community and I am confident that all Tasmanians will rally around those stricken and displaced and willingly give them support and encouragement, both spiritual and material, to help rebuild strength and provide courage to face the future."
Hobart Lord Mayor Damon Thomas said the community had rallied around those affected by the fires.
"I am more than amazed by the heartfelt community support for people affected by Tasmania's devastating bushfires," Alderman Thomas said.
"All emergency services worked extremely well to cater for the evacuees from the Tasman Peninsula through the Evacuation and Recovery Centre in the City Hall.
"We had a number of ferries through the night with the last one at 4am today. Support staff were able to find accommodation till about 1am, then some 70 people stayed at the Centre overnight.
"Truly awe-inspiring support from the Tasmanian community"
