It has been announced that the following Cumbrian residents have received a UK honour in HM The King’s honours list.
King Charles III has consented to the day of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s State Funeral (Monday 19 September) being a national Bank Holiday.
After the sad passing of Her Majesty The Queen on Thursday afternoon (8 September) the Proclamation of King Charles III was made at 11am on Saturday (10 September) at St. James’s Palace and then again at the Royal Exchange, in the City of London at 12noon.
Following the passing of Her Majesty The Queen, we can now confirm details of the Proclamation of the new sovereign.
As the news travels that HM Queen Elizabeth has died, Cumbria pays tribute to the most remarkable Queen that our country has ever known.
