" Her devotion to the nations of the United Kingdom and The Commonwealth only seems deeper, " He Said .
" And our gratitude for such an extraordinary life of duty and dedication only continues to grow. "
Mr Sunak said he treasured his memories of meeting the late Queen in which he was struck by her " wisdom, her incredible warmth and grace" as well as her " sharp wit".
" People across the UK - whether they had the Good Fortune to meet Her Late Majesty or not - will be reflecting today on what she meant to them and the example she set for us all, " he added.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said the queues to see the late Queen lying in state showed she " always enjoyed a special bond with her people".
" It was a relationship built from her understanding that service of this great nation is The Thread that unites sovereign and subject, " He Said .
" So, as we reflect on her legacy again today, let us embrace that spirit of public service as our guide towards a better future. "
