NameMessage
Mayor of Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, Councillor Scott CarsonI am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Her Majesty The Queen. I would like to convey our deepest sympathies to the entire Royal Family at this time. The Queen has served the UK and the Commonwealth with integrity and grace over the last 70 years. She visited the Lisburn Castlereagh council area on many occasions during her reign. Her first visit to Lisburn was in July 1953 as part of a three day state visit to mark her Coronation, when she was accompanied by the late Prince Philip. As a regular visitor to Hillsborough Castle, the Royal residence in Northern Ireland, The Queen hosted garden parties and receptions while using it as her base to travel across Northern Ireland. The Queen is an inspiration to many generations as she has worked with her family to ensure the Monarchy remains progressive and helps to build peace across the world.
David Burns, Chief ExecutiveMy deepest sympathies to the entire Royal Family on the passing of Her Majesty The Queen, Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen officially opened the council’s civic headquarters at Lagan Valley Island in 2001 alongside Freeman of Lisburn & Castlereagh City, Jim Dillon MBE JP. She also granted city status to Lisburn in 2002. In 2021, the council was delighted to have received Royal Status for Hillsborough and in October Royal Hillsborough received its Letter Patent.

Jamie Wright-BoyceI was completely shocked at the news of the Queen’s passing. There really was a sadness in the air & the world felt a little bit darker. I feel comfort in knowing that the Queen is now with her dear husband Prince Philip, her loving parents King George IV & Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother & her loving sister Princess Margaret. The Queen made an oath to her peoples in 1921 to serve us the whole of her life whether that be long or short & she did just that. I personally can’t Thank the Queen enough for her service to us all. She will be forever known for her kindness & loving nature, especially her love of Dogs & Horses. To me the Queen was the light at the end of the Tunnel through the darkest & hardest of times. The UK & Commonwealth will be forever in her debt. Rest in Peace Your Majesty & Thank You ❤️
