On Sunday 18 September 2022 at 8pm, the people of Walsall took part in a national moment of reflection to mourn the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and reflect on her life and legacy.
A minute’s silence was observed across the UK in memory of The Queen in a shared national moment of reflection.
Pictured are Councillor Mike Bird, Leader of Walsall Council, Councillor Rose Martin, the Mayor of Walsall, Dr Helen Paterson, Chief Executive of Walsall Council, and Councillor Aftab Nawaz, Leader of the Labour Group, who took part in a moment of reflection at Walsall Town Hall, observing a minute’s silence at 8pm.
“ While no amount of quiet reflection could really do justice to Queen Elizabeth II’s 70-year reign, coming together to take part in the National Moment of Reflection is such an important act of commemoration during this period of national mourning.
Many residents are marking the moment and coming together for a shared moment of reflection. I am sure I speak on behalf of all of our residents here in Walsall when I say Her Majesty will be greatly missed and her wonderful reign will be long remembered. “
