The death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96 was confirmed by Buckingham Palace in a statement on Thursday evening, September 8. It read: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon . The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
“We were proud and honoured to host many visits by The Queen as a city, including memorably in her Diamond Jubilee year 10 years ago and it’s particularly sad that her death comes during her Platinum Jubilee year when the country has been celebrating her long reign. “As a mark of respect and sorrow, we will fly flags on our buildings at half mast and open a Book of Condolence at the Council House and at locations around the city. If people wish to lay flowers they can do so on the Council House steps.”
