On Thursday 8th September 2022, Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II passed away peacefully at Balmoral. 
We all at Stickford Parish Council and the village of Stickford express our sadness and send our deepest condolences to the Royal Family at this time.  
Her Majesty The Queen gave 70 years of dignified service to her country. For the majority of people her Majesty will be the only monarch we have ever known and at this time of change we must reflect on that time of dedication. 
Your duty to the country is fulfilled, may you now rest in peace. 
We will now have a minute’s silence for personal reflection. 
Out of respect for her Majesty, I will now suspend the meeting until a time after national mourning. A date to be confirmed.
The date of the next meeting was discussed and decided upon :  4th October 2022 at 7.30pm.

The Chairman closed the meeting at 7.40pm.
