Mayor of Whitby Expresses Towns "Deep Sorrow" at the Death of Queen Elizabeth

Town Mayor of Whitby, Councillor Linda Wild has issued a statement following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Councillor Wild said:

"It was with deep sorry that we have heard today of the death of our Monarch, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Our thoughts as a town council, on behalf of the people of Whitby, are with the Royal Family at this sad time.

Her Majesty has been the foundation of our country throughout my lifetime and she achieved an unprecedented seventy years as queen – an event which brought together our nation in celebration this summer. I think we can all reflect on the values of public service and stability that she has offered us as Queen and Princess for more than eighty years.

Our sadness is with our new King and the wider Royal Family because the loss of a parent, grandparent or great-grandparent accentuates the personal loss amid this time of national mourning. As a council and as a community, we will pause at this time to mark the passing of the Queen with gratitude for a long and eventful life.

God Save the King."
