Exmouth Town Council is deeply saddened and joins with the nation in mourning the passing of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. Our Chairman, Councillor Steve Gazzard, will be sending our sincere condolences to Her Majesty the Queen on behalf of the residents of Exmouth.

Due to the current national lockdown restrictions, anyone who wishes to pay their respects is encouraged to sign our online book of condolence on the Town Council’s website.

If residents wish to lay flowers in memory of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, please do so around/in front of the war memorial in The Strand.

Councillor Steve Gazzard, Chair of Exmouth Town Council, says: “Our thoughts are with Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family at this very sad time. The Duke of Edinburgh will be remembered for his exemplary service to the Queen and our country.”

As a mark of respect, we will be flying the Union Flag at half-mast from today until the Duke’s funeral.
