Statement from Civic Mayor, Cllr Ian Pearson

Our Civic Mayor, Cllr Ian Pearson, has given a statement following the incredibly sad news of the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth.

“On behalf of Doncaster Council and the people of the city, I express our deep sadness at the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and give our sincerest condolences to the Royal Family at this time. The Union Flag will be flown at half-mast at the Mansion House and Sir Nigel Gresley Square as a mark of respect.

“The Queen had served this nation dutifully for over 70 years and became the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking her many years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth.”
