Statement from Jerry Carlisle, Chair of Barley Town Council

On behalf of the whole village of Barley we offer our sincere condolences to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11 and to her family on the sad news of the passing of His Royal Highness Prince Phillip Duke of Edinburgh earlier today.

 

In line with the family's wishes and to ensure everyone remains Covid safe, we will not be opening a book of condolence.

 

For the same reason the laying of flowers is discouraged.

 

The flag will fly at half mast above the church tower until the day after His Royal Highness' funeral.

 

J Carlisle

Chair of Barley Parish Council
