The death of Queen Elizabeth II

The Mayor's statement on the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

It is with the greatest sadness that we hear of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II after such an extraordinary reign. On behalf of the people, Members and officers of the Borough of Gedling, I ask that our sincerest condolences are passed to the new King.

The late Queen’s poise, leadership and enduring dedication to public service has served as a fine example and inspiration to those of us who have chosen to serve the public at a local level.

Books of condolence will be opened at the Council’s Civic Centre and at the Richard Herrod Centre, Carlton and will be available to the public throughout the mourning period. We will also fly the Union Flag at half-mast outside our Civic Centre. Once closed, books of condolence will be archived and passed to Nottinghamshire Archives.

On behalf of the Borough, we wish The King a long and glorious reign.

The Worshipful Mayor of Gedling, Councillor Peter Barnes
