Death of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
It is with great sadness that Wheatley Parish Council has learnt of the death of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
During the pandemic, we cannot host and open physical books of condolence as it is not safe to do so. We would encourage those who would like to share a message to sign Buckingham Palace’s online book of condolence at www.royal.uk This will close at 5pm on the day after the funeral. It will be live in the next few days.
As a mark of respect to His Royal Highness, the council has postponed the Annual Parish Meeting scheduled for 13th April and the monthly parish council meeting on the 12th of April will begin with a minute’s silence.
Should you wish to express your sadness please make a donation to one of the many charities that were important to His Royal Highness. i.e. Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme or the World Wildlife Fund. Alternative donation arrangements will be announced in the coming days.
Cllr Alison Sercombe, Chairman of Wheatley Parish Council
