Sowerby Parish Council extends heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family following the sad news of the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II. Councillor Mark Robson said “We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of our Majesty, the Queen. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Royal Family at this very difficult time. We owe her an enormous debt of gratitude for her long and loyal service to this country.” Floral Tributes can be made at the cenotaph in Sowerby or Thirsk Market Square and a Book of Condolence is available in both St Oswald’s and St Marys Church. Since the official announcement of the death, the council has been flying the union flag at half-mast above Thirsk and Sowerby Town Hall as a formal mark of respect.
