It is with great sadness that Redcar & Cleveland Council learns of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The Mayor of Redcar & Cleveland, Cllr Stuart Smith said:
“Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has served the country with honour, grace and sensitivity, over a remarkable period of time as the longest reigning British Monarch.
Throughout both happy and challenging times, she was an inspirational figure to us all and always put her country first. She gained universal respect from the people of Great Britain and every country throughout the world and will be greatly missed by people worldwide.
We will remember her as someone whose duty always came first and who carried out that duty in an impeccable fashion on every occasion. Queen Elizabeth II will always be dear to our hearts and her legacy will live on long into the future.”
