The country has lost its oldest hero-Havering Mayor Councillor Trevor McKeever.

Statement from Councillor Trevor McKeever, Mayor of Havering.

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

We send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the Royal Family for their profound loss. As a mark of respect, Havering Council has joined other local authorities across the country in lowering the flags to half-mast at the Romford Town Hall. 

We give thanks to Her Majesty for her tireless dedication and service to her country and the Commonwealth, both in war and peacetime. The country has lost its oldest hero.”
