The Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire, Chairman of Hampshire County Council, and County Council Leader laid flowers inside Winchester’s Great Hall at midday, Saturday 10 April.  These flowers are now in situ in the main reception area of the County Council’s Elizabeth II Court headquarters building.

Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, residents are politely discouraged from laying their own floral tributes at this or other locations.

Instead, the Royal Family ask that members of the public consider making a donation to a charity. For further information, visit www.royal.uk/donations
