Books of condolence at all six Bury townships

Friday, 9 September 2022 14:45

By David Murphy

Residents are invited to sign books of condolence across the borough in memory of HRH Her Majesty The Queen.

The Mayor of Bury, Councillor Shaheena Haroon, said: “We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Her Majesty. She was our longest-reigning monarch and gave a lifetime of service to the people of this country.

“The people of the borough of Bury proudly welcomed Her Majesty to the borough on several occasions, most recently in 1992 when she officially opened the Metrolink line and travelled by tram from Manchester to Bury.

“In 1954, a year after her coronation, Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh visited us to officially open Bury Town Hall. And in 1968, she visited Bradley Fold in Radcliffe where she oversaw Operation Springclean and visited the engineering works of Dobson and Barlow Ltd.”

The mayor will be laying flowers at 11am today (Friday) at Kay Gardens in Bury, and everyone is welcome to attend and follow suit.

Following the laying of flowers the mayor, as Bury’s ‘first citizen’, will open and sign a book of condolence at Bury Town Hall. 

Books of condolence will be in all six townships and open from noon today:

Bury Town Hall (access from Knowsley Street entrance – usual opening times and noon-4pm on Sat and Sun)
Prestwich Library
Radcliffe Library
Ramsbottom Library
Tottington Library
Victoria Centre, Whitefield (noon-5pm today, Sun noon-5pm, 10 am-5pm weekdays)

An online book of condolence has also been opened at https://www.royal.uk/
