Queen Elizabeth II 1926-2022

As we have enter a period of mourning following the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, the councils of our region have published details as to how people can express their condolences. The Lord Mayor of Sheffield Sioned-Mair Richards has issued a statement on the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth. “On behalf of the City Council and the people of Sheffield I want to express our great sadness at the news of the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth. “Our sincere condolences go to members of the Royal Family at this time of sadness and personal loss. “Her reign will be acknowledged in history as one of the greatest of all monarchs and, through years of major challenges and difficulties for the country, she retained a true sense of dignity throughout. “As a mark of our respect, flags

will be flown at half-mast on civic buildings. A Book of Condolence is now open in Sheffield Town Hall and will continue to be open Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:30pm, until the day after the funeral. "Floral tributes may be laid in a specially designated area of the Peace Gardens in the city centre.” Residents of Doncaster and visitors are welcome to sign the Book of Condolence in tribute to HM Queen Elizabeth II which is available at the Doncaster Gallery, Library and Museum (DGLAM). The book is available to sign at DGLAM from 9am - 6pm until the day after the funeral which takes place on Monday 19th September.
