Responding to the death of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, today, Cllr James Jamieson, Chairman of the Local Government Association, said:
“On behalf of all councils across England and Wales, I’d like to express our sincere condolences to the whole Royal Family.
“Councils will be putting into place local arrangements to support the public in expressing their own sympathies, such as opening books of condolence, flags being flown at half-mast and the laying of flowers in public areas.”
