Guidance from the National Association of Civic Officers is that books of condolence opened to mark the death of HM The Queen should be closed at 17:00 the day after her funeral. Therefore, the book of condolence currently located at St Mary’s Church, Ovingham will officially close at 17:00 on Tuesday, 20 September.
Northumberland County Council books and books organised by Parish Councils (including Ovingham) will be gathered together, bound and added to the County’s archive at Morpeth.
