Floral tributes laid in Lancaster and Morecambe in tribute to the Queen

The Mayor of Lancaster has laid floral tributes in memory of HM Queen Elizabeth II.

Councillor Joyce Pritchard placed bouquets of flowers in Dalton Square in Lancaster and the sunken gardens at Morecambe Town Hall on Friday.

Members of the public who would like to make their own floral tributes are encouraged to use the same locations.

Books of condolence have also been opened at both Lancaster and Morecambe town halls and a digital book has been opened by Lancashire County Council, which can be viewed on their website at www.lancashire.gov.uk 

Details of the proclamation of the new King have also been announced.  Nationally this will take place on Saturday in London, followed by regional proclamations the following day.

The High Sheriff of Lancashire will read the proclamation at 1pm on Sunday from the steps of the Harris Museum in Preston, and this will be followed locally later in the afternoon.

The Mayor of Lancaster will read the proclamation from the steps of Lancaster Town Hall at 3pm and Morecambe Town Hall at 4.15pm. The books of condolence at both town halls will be available to sign before and after the reading of the proclamation.

The Union Flag, which has been lowered to half mast at both Lancaster and Morecambe town halls, will be raised following the national proclamation and lowered again on Sunday afternoon.
