Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II passed away peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
The Councillors of Welton Parish Council send their condolences to all members of the Royal Family at this difficult time.
We recognise people will want to express their sadness at the passing of The Queen in their own way. A book of condolence is available online here. Books of condolence will also be available inside the Great Hall at the Guildhall in Northampton, The Forum in Towcester and Lodge Road in Daventry.
Opening times are as follows:
Northampton Guildhall 8.30am to 6pm (Saturdays 9.30am to 5pm)
Towcester Forum 9am to 5pm
Daventry Lodge Road 9am to 5pm
Please be aware that during peak periods there may be queues.
Closing of the book of condolence
The book of condolence will be closed on the day after the Queen’s funeral.
Once closed, the books of condolence will form part of West Northamptonshire Council’s archive so that future generations are able to easily gain access to them and find out the way in which national events are marked.
The books of condolence may also be displayed in the museum along with other memorabilia as an exhibition.
