Salisbury's Mayor receives card from King Charles
It's to thank the city for their condolences after the Queen's passing
The Mayor of Salisbury, Cllr Tom Corbin, got some very special post from Buckingham Palace.
A card's been sent from King Charles, in response to condolences sent to His Majesty after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The message of support was sent on behalf of the city of Salisbury to the King.
The Mayor said to him:
"I write to you on behalf of your loyal servants in Salisbury in sharing our most sincere condolences at the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
"Throughout so many years of loyal service, we have been honoured to host numerous visits by The Queen; most notably when she met with so many local people who warmly welcomed her to Salisbury Cathedral as part of her Diamond Jubilee celebrations."
In response, a card's been sent to Cllr Tom Corbin, with a picture of the late Queen, with a young Prince Charles as he was then.
The message inside says:
"It was so very kind of you to send me such a wonderfully generous message following the death of my beloved mother. Your most thoughtful words are enormously comforting, and I cannot tell you how deeply they are appreciated at this time of immense sorrow."
The card is now on display for us to see in the Crown Court of Salisbury Guildhall.
