Dear Colleagues,
I am sure you are, by now, all aware of the sad news from The Palace and you will share with me in sending our sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to HM The Queen and all Members of the Royal Family.
We have now entered a period of National Mourning and therefore any Union Flags should be lowered to half-mast. We remain in a period of mourning until 8am on the day following the funeral.
Due to the current restrictions, we are advised that books of condolence will not be opened, but we are expecting further information next week regarding online books of condolence.
The advice from the National Association of Civic Officers is that we do not rush into to any ‘plans’ and we wait for further announcements from The Palace. However, for those Councils who wish to, it is appropriate for you to add a notice onto your websites.
Kind regards,
Katrina Baker, MBE
President, SALC
