As Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon it is with profound sadness that I extend my heartfelt sympathy to The Royal Family on the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second. In this Her Platinum Jubilee year Her Majesty’s death will be met across the world with sadness mixed with fond memories and admiration for a lifetime of public service. Of course it is her family and close circle of friends who will miss her most and I pray that they will know the support of our nation in the coming days and that they will find comfort from the many tributes that will be paid to the life and work of a truly special and inspirational Monarch.
As an expression of sadness and respect at the passing of our late Sovereign, Queen Elizabeth the Second, flags at the Council’s 3 main administrative buildings will be flown at half-mast until the day after Her Majesty’s funeral. Council buildings will also be illuminated deep purple for this period of time.
