Leicester, England (News of The South) Following the death of Queen Elizabeth on September 8, many condolence messages have been pouring in to the British Royal family. Leicester city Mayor Peter Soulsby paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth. His message is as follows:
The end of an era
I am profoundly saddened by the news of Her Majesty’s passing, and on behalf of the city extend my sympathies to our new monarch and all of the Royal Family.
Queen Elizabeth was on the throne for more than 70 years – the longest reign of any British monarch – and in that time was a tireless ambassador in the service of the country and the wider Commonwealth. During her lengthy reign, The Queen oversaw vast changes politically and domestically, both at home and internationally.
She always acted with remarkable grace and composure, which inspired genuine affection from across the world. Her passing truly marks the end of an era.
If you wish to pay a personal tribute to The Queen, you can sign a book of condolence at Leicester’s Town Hall (open 8am to 5pm every day) or leave a message on our online book of condolence. Please see our website for details of formal local events and commemorations. You may also wish to look back at The Queen’s visits to our city on the Story of Leicester website.
