A message from the Chairman of the Council:

“On behalf of Reedham Parish Council and residents of the village, I would like to express the deep sadness with which we have received news of the death of HM Queen Elizabeth today. Our condolences go out to the Royal Family and our thoughts are with them during this time of personal grief and national sorrow.

The Queen has served our country with distinction and honour throughout Her reign and our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with King Charles and the rest of the Royal Family at this sad time.”

 

There will be a 2 minute silence at 11.00 am on the day of the royal funeral. At the next Parish Council Meeting there will also be a 1 minute silence.

For those wishing to leave a message a book of condolence will be placed at the Church. Locations of all books of condolence can be found on the Norfolk County Council website –  www.norfolk.gov.uk – or an e-book of condolence is available on the official royal website – www.royal.uk.

There will be a short service of Prayer and Reflection at the church to mark the Queen’s death, followed by a Proclamation of Accession of Charles III, on Sunday 11th at 4pm with all parishioners welcome to attend. Please look out for the arrangements for future services on the Acle and Bure to Yare Benefice website and social media . The church is open for anyone who would like to pray and reflect.
