Political leaders on West Lothian Council have joined tributes to the life and work of the late Queen.
Labour’s Lawrence Fitzpatrick, who is the Leader of the council said: “Like everyone else in West Lothian, I was saddened to hear the news about Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. My thoughts and prayers are with the Royal Family.
“Whilst we all mourn her passing, it’s important we also celebrate her achievements and many years of selfless service for the countries and peoples she loved dearly. To become the country’s longest-serving Monarch and gain the respect and admiration of generations of world leaders shows the high-esteem in which She was held by everyone.
