FOLLOWING the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a proclamation of the new king is being made in cities, towns and villages across the UK.
A number of town and parish councils across the East Riding are to mark the accession to the throne of His Majesty King Charles III with their own proclamation events on Sunday, September 11 2022.
The East Riding proclamation will take place at 3.30pm at the Market Cross, Saturday Market, Beverley on Sunday, with a number of town and parish councils making their own proclamations soon after with deputy Lieutenants in attendance.
These include:
- Hedon – Market Hill at 4pm
- Patrington – Market Place at 4pm
The Mayor of Hedon, Councillor David Thompson, will read out the proclamation (on Market Hill, Hedon) and the Mace Bearer Mr John Dawson, will draw attention to the announcement just before 4pm. Members of the public are invited to attend the event and join councillors and dignitaries in observing the proclamation.
In line with the national Proclamation Day, the flag on Town Hall will be raised to full height at 11am on Saturday 10 September and will be returned to half-mast at 1pm, Sunday 11 September, where it will remain up to and including the day of the funeral of Her Majesty.
