We join with others across our community in mourning the sad death of Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II, and we over our sincerest condolences to HRH King Charles III and all the members of the Royal Family at this difficult time.

We take this opportunity to pay tribute to the Queen’s extraordinary life of service. We owe her an immense debt of gratitude for the selfless and unstinting manner in which she dedicated herself to the interests, concerns, challenges and achievements of our government, and those of the individuals, groups, communities, organisations across the United Kingdom and the World that were touched by her admirable spirit.

And she did it with such style, grace, empathy and enchanting good humour.

Thank you your Majesty.

Note: Following the accession ceremony of the new King today, there will be local readings of the Proclamation at 16.10 on Sunday 11th September. Please see the Warbleton Parish Council site for details:
