Books of condolence are open across Shropshire so people can pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, whose death was announced to the nation yesterday evening.
These give Shropshire residents the opportunity to pay their respects to The Queen and share their thoughts, feelings and memories about her 70-year reign.
Books of condolence are open at the following locations from 9.30am today (9 September) and will be open during normal opening hours throughout the period of mourning:
- Market Drayton Library
- St Mary’s Church
- Town Council Office
Alternatively, you can sign the national online condolence book at www.royal.uk
Those who do not have access to the internet or are not able to go to a location to sign a book of condolence, can send handwritten messages or cards to be addressed to Chair of Shropshire Council, Democratic Services, Shirehall, Shrewsbury SY2 6ND. These will be placed in the books of condolence.
We know many people will want to express their sadness by laying flowers. Floral tributes can be made at Market Drayton war memorial.
