Tributes to Queen Elizabeth II are appearing all over the region, with flags flown at half mast and flowers left outside public buildings. Local authorities have all updated their websites with messages of condolence to the Royal Family from civic leaders, as well as guidelines on where and how constituents can express their own condolences.
Bristol City Council’s homepage carried messages from Mayor of Bristol Martin Rees, Lord Mayor of Bristol Cllr Paula O’Rourke and Lord-Lieutenant Peaches Golding OBE, who wrote: “I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Her Majesty The Queen, and I know the people of Bristol will join me in sending our thoughts and condolences to the Royal Family at this difficult time.”
Beneath these, local mourners were advised to leave any flowers at the western end of Bristol Cathedral, which is also hosting a book of remembrance to the late monarch. Another book of remembrance has been opened at City Hall, while an e-book is being opened online for those who cannot travel to either of these locations.
