She has left an indelible mark on Havering and the world-Havering’s Leader of the Council.

Councillor Ray Morgon -Leader of Havering Council, has today issued a statement on the passing of HM The Queen.

On behalf of the residents and businesses of Havering, I would like to express our deep sense of loss at the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

“Through her remarkable service to our nation and her visits to our borough, she has left an indelible mark on Havering and the world.

“Not only has she been our longest reigning monarch, the Queen has commanded huge affection and respect for her unique leadership right across our nation and the world making her an iconic figure. 

“As a mark of respect, Havering Council has joined other local authorities across the country in lowering the flags at the Town Hall, Romford to half-mast.

“We are making arrangements for residents who wish to pay their respects to leave messages of condolence, flowers and tributes at locations across the borough.

“We give thanks for The Queen’s tireless service to our country and the Commonwealth, and of course we send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the Royal Family in whose grief we share.”
