Wickwar Parish Council joins the nation in mourning the death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.

The Members of Wickwar Parish Council send their condolences to Her Majesty the Queen and all members of the Royal Family.
We recognise that many people will want to express their sadness at the passing of HRH Prince Philip in their own way. South Gloucestershire Council’s book of condolence can be found at www.southglos.gov.uk/condolence.
Online books of condolence have also been organised by the Church of England (please visit www.churchofengland.org) and by Buckingham Palace (please visit www.royal.uk.)
A single bell will be tolled half-muffled 99 times
at 12 noon tomorrow, Saturday 10th April at Holy Trinity Church, Wickwar. The Church will also be holding on line worship at 10am this coming Sunday, devoted to the memory of Prince Philip and expressing thanksgiving for his life and service.

Finally, in lieu of placing flowers Buckingham Palace has asked that people consider donating to one of the charities with which Prince Philip was associated. If you do wish to place flowers, in recognition of his distinguished military service and long association with the forces, you are welcome to place flowers at the war memorial in Holy Trinity churchyard.
