Arrangements are now in place for residents who wish to mark the death of HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Condolences

An online book of condolence has been set up by Cambridgeshire County Council https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/news/book-of-condolence-his-royal-highness-the-duke-of-edinburgh. This will remain open until 6:00PM on Saturday 17 April for any resident wishing to sign it.

For residents who are not able to participate in the online book of condolence, arrangements are currently being made for councils to accept postal condolence messages, which will then be collected and placed together. East Cambridgeshire District Council will be taking part in this, so residents can choose to send condolence messages to the Council at The Grange, Nutholt Lane, Ely CB7 4EE clearly marked ‘condolence book’.

From Monday 12 April, residents will also be able to drop off written  condolence messages at their nearest Cambridgeshire library. They can do this by placing condolences in the clearly marked boxes. 

Donations

The Royal Family has requested that members of the public consider making a donation to a charity of their choice instead of leaving floral tributes. See https://www.royal.uk/floral-tributes for the official announcement.
