Published: 21/10/2022

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, recently passed away on Thursday 8th September at Balmoral aged 96, after reigning for 70 years.

Joining countless people across the country, the Commonwealth, and indeed the world, we were saddened to hear of the death of Her Majesty and again would like to offer our sincerest condolences to the Royal Family.

We are proud that The Queen visited Nottinghamshire on a number of occasions during her reign. Nottinghamshire County Council included notable examples in a recent press release including her Silver Jubilee celebrations in 1977 where she opened Mansfield Library, attended a test match at Trent Bridge Cricket Ground and officially opened the Queen's Medical Centre.
