Passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
This morning our flags were lowered to half-mast and will remain that way for at least the next ten days, as we mourn the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen will always hold a special place in our district’s history having flown in and out of Kapiti Coast Airport with the late HRH the Duke of Edinburgh in January 1954.
Over the coming days, the Government will announce how, as a country, we will mark her death and remember her service as our Head of State. Once that is confirmed we will be able to share what that could mean for our district. We will let you know when condolence books are available in our libraries and service centres for you to write in, and where you can leave flowers.
