Paying tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

North Somerset joins with people across the Commonwealth in paying tribute to Her Majesty The Queen following the sad news of her death.

Books of Condolence will open at the Town Hall and Castlewood on Friday 9 September.  People will be able to record their tributes in the books between 9am and 6pm, Monday to Friday. 

In addition to these, town and parish councils in our area are also providing their own Books of Condolence, and have designated areas where you can lay floral tributes if you wish.

If you are leaving a floral tribute please remove the cellophane, ribbons and any wire. This is so we can compost the floral tributes and plant a tree in memory of The Queen.

An electronic Book of Condolence is also available on the Royal Family website.

Local Proclamation

The local Proclamation on the accession of the new Sovereign will be read at 3pm on Sunday 11 September at the Italian Gardens in Weston-super-Mare, where you can also lay floral tributes.

This local event is the formal Proclamation to the people of North Somerset of the beginning of our new King’s reign. It’s a chance for our communities to come together and reflect on the moment in our nation’s history when the reign of our longest-serving Monarch comes to an end and our new Sovereign succeeds.
