Statement about the death of His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh

We are saddened to hear of the death of His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh.

Our thoughts and sympathies are with Her Majesty, The Queen and the rest of the Royal Family at this time.

The Duke served this country for many years, and his dedication and sacrifice will not be forgotten.

The flag at the Civic Suite is being flown at half-mast as a mark of respect.

You can find an online book of condolence on the Royal website.
