East Renfrewshire’s Provost has paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II as books of condolence have been opened at council offices.
The death of the UK’s longest serving monarch, at the age of 96, was announced in a statement from Buckingham Palace yesterday. Her family had earlier gathered at Balmoral after her health declined.
At East Renfrewshire Council’s headquarters in Eastwood, the Union Flag is flying at half-mast and Provost Mary Montague has laid a floral tribute. Members of the public wishing to lay their own tributes can do so on a grassed area outside the Eastwood base.
