We are deeply saddened to hear of the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of her other realms and territories, Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.

Our sadness at this time is shared by residents of the Parish of Findern, and across the country and the world as we remember with affection and gratitude Her Majesty’s lifetime of service.

Anyone wishing to place a floral tribute to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth may do so under the tree on The Green in Findern that was planted there to celebrate the Queen’s 50th Jubilee. This is the smallest of the five trees there, nearest to the corner with Main Street.

The Parish Council is also making arrangements to open a Book of Condolence at the Village Hall from Monday, 12 September. Details of when this will be available to residents will be posted here, and also on the Community Facebook page and Noticeboards.
