After Buckingham Palace confirmed the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II yesterday (08 September), Haydon Wick Parish Council has offered its condolences to the Royal Family.

At the Parish Offices, the flag has been lowered to half-mast as a mark of respect.

A condolence book will soon be made available for any resident who would like to leave a tribute or comment in the coming days.

The Council will be following official protocols over the coming days.

Councillor Vinay Manro, Chairman of Haydon Wick Parish Council, said: “We are deeply saddened that Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II has passed away. Our thoughts are with the Royal Family at this time and as we join the nation in mourning, we pay tribute to the contribution Her Majesty has made through seventy years of dedicated public service.”
