Commemorating Her Majesty The Queen
Following Her Majesty The Queen's death on 8 September, the Government and the Royal Household have set out guidance and arrangements on how to commemorate her life.
This week it was announced that a State Funeral for The Queen will be held next Monday 19 September, which will be a national day of mourning, and a bank holiday.
Guidance received from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) sets out that businesses will continue to operate normally during the mourning period, and that options and considerations for commemorating The Queen include:
- An online book of condolence is available to sign at the Royal website;
- Information on donating to one of The Queen's patronage is also available on the Royal website;
- Local Authorities across the UK are making arrangements to lay floral or memorial tributes locally;
- Consider any changes you might wish to make to your website and social media activities; and;
- Where you have flags, lowering them to half mast.
Businesses are encouraged to follow updates on www.gov.uk and the Royal Website.
