Message from the Chairman

It is with great sadness that we have today learned of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

On behalf of all the Councillors and staff at Yaxley Parish Council, as well as the residents of the Parish, I would like to pass on our most sincere condolences to all of the Royal family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them at this sad and difficult time.

Book of condolence

A book of condolence will be available to sign in the Amenity Centre should you wish to do so, this will be available 8am until 4pm daily at the entrance to the Austin Hall. Alternatively there are the following online books of condolence:

The official Book of Condolence on the Royal Family Website

Placing of Flowers

Should you wish to lay flowers during the period of mourning, you may do so on the Green, Main Street close to the flagpole. We would kindly ask that you remove any form of wrapping from the flowers before laying them. Please do not leave cards with the flowers, any condolnces can be recorded in the book of condolence.

At the end of the mourning period all flowers will be taken away to be composted.
