Since the passing of her late Majesty the Queen, I have been honoured to represent Sevenoaks and Swanley at the ceremonies that have taken place both in Parliament and locally.
On Saturday I attended a wonderful service at St Nicholas Church, Sevenoaks, before then paying tribute to the Queen in the House of Commons. In particular I reflected on the Queen’s close relationship with Sir Winston Churchill, perhaps our most famous past resident. A huge thank you to Katherine Carter, Curator at Chartwell, for her help with the speech.
On Sunday I attended the Proclamation reading for King Charles III, led by Council Chairman Cllr Avril Hunter at Sevenoaks District Council. It was moving to see so many residents gathered for this historic event and if you wish to watch it back, a short video can be found at: www.sevenoaks.gov.uk/hmthequeen
And finally, today I attended the Presentation of Address by both Houses of Parliament to King Charles III in Westminster Hall.
