'She was everyone's Nana': Flags at half-mast as Christchurch mourns the Queen's death

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Flags across the city are being lowered to half-mast as Christchurch joins the rest of the Commonwealth in mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Queen, the world’s longest serving monarch, died on Friday morning at Balmoral, Scotland, at the age of 96.

In Christchurch, which the Queen visited nine times during her reign, flags are being flown at half-mast and condolence books are being opened at civic centres.

Mayor Lianne Dalziel said the Royal Family had been ardent supporters of the city, for which its residents would “always be grateful”.
