Councillor Alex Nicoll, Co-Leader of Aberdeen City Council, has said: ”On behalf of Aberdeen City Council and the City of Aberdeen, I offer my heartfelt sympathy to the Royal Family over the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. We have lost a Monarch who had strong and enduring connections with the North East and was in many ways a member of our own community.”
Councillor Ian Yuill, Co-Leader of Aberdeen City Council, said: “The North East and its people were dear to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth throughout her life. The North East was one of the few places she could truly relax. I know I speak for Aberdeen citizens in extending my condolences to the Royal Family at this difficult time.”
Angela Scott, Chief Executive, Aberdeen City Council said: “On behalf of Aberdeen City Council, I would like to express my deepest sympathy on hearing of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.”
“The Queen dedicated her life to the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth throughout her reign and during that time visited Aberdeen on many occasions.”
“I am sure many families in Aberdeen will be reminiscing over the coming weeks about events such as Her Majesty’s Silver, Golden and Diamond Jubilees, or recalling seeing The Queen when she was in our city.”
“The Queen had a close and warm association with the North-east of Scotland, and its people with her.”
