Statement on the Death of Her Majesty the Queen
In June this year, Rawdon gathered to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Today we must bear the sad news that her reign has ended with her peaceful passing away at Balmoral.
The country has lost a loyal and dedicated servant as well as the longest reigning monarch in our history
We now enter a period of mourning to honour and give thanks for her 70 years of service on the throne of our nation.
It is with great sadness that I write the words that we all knew would be needed one day, but hoped would not be uttered for many more years.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is dead. Long live King Charles III.
Neil Hunt (Chairman, Rawdon Parish Council)
