Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
1926 -  2022

Bardwell Parish Council is deeply saddened that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has passed away.

Our sympathies are very much with The Royal Family on this very sad occasion, as she is remembered not only as our Queen, but also a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.

Queen Elizabeth has been our monarch for a remarkable 70 years, a constant presence in our all lives, when the country and the wider world has seen so many changes and challenging times.

Her devotion to duty should be an inspiration to us all.

David Ruffles, Chairman
 Bardwell Parish Council

A Book of Condolence is available at Bardwell Church.
 

 All are welcome to come and sign, and take time to sit, pray, reflect and reminisce on the amazing life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
