The Queen died peacefully yesterday afternoon at Balmoral aged 96. People around the country have been mourning her death with many leaving flowers and tributes.
Announcing the Book of Condolence, Lord Provost Jacqueline McLaren said: “As Lord Lieutenant, I will be the first signatory in a Book of Condolence, on behalf of the City of Glasgow, to mark the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The book will then be signed by the city’s second and third citizens, The Lord Dean and the Deacon Convener.”
Responding to Her Majesty’s death yesterday, Provost McLaren described Queen Elizabeth II as: “A monarch who has served with pride, dignity, wisdom and grace for more than 70 years.
