Reading of the Proclamation

At 3:30pm on Sunday 11th September 2022, Deputy Lord Lieutenant Gaynor Coley read the Proclamation following the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and the succession of King Charles III.

Deputy Lord Lieutenant Gaynor Coley was joined by other Deputy Lieutenants, the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, Wadebridge Town Councillors, Scott Mann MP and our two Cornwall Councillors along with many members of the community who assembled to witness this historic moment.

During the Proclamation the flags were raised to full mast, before returning to half-mast where they will remain until 8am on the day following the Queen’s State Funeral. It was a significant and moving moment when 'God Save the King' was proclaimed by all present. This was followed by everyone singing the National Anthem.
