Queen Elizabeth II has died at Balmoral, aged 96, after reigning for 70 years.

The Queen was born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, in Mayfair, London, on 21 April 1926. She came to the throne in 1952 and is Britain’s longest-serving monarch. On 8th September 2022, she passed away peacefully at Balmoral.

All of us at Altham Parish Council are extremely saddened to hear this news.

We will have a book of condolence available, and are discussing how we are going to honour and respect the Queen’s passing. We will let you all know the location of the book, timings and other details as soon as possible.
