Cllr Nigel Sinden, mayor of Hastings, has this afternoon paid tribute to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, whose death was announced earlier today.
Cllr Sinden, wearing a black armband and a black rosette and with his mayoral badge shrouded, laid a bunch of red roses at the town's war memorial in Alexandra Park. The town hall flag is flying at half mast and other flags have been removed.
Cllr Sinden said :- "I want to pass on my sincere condolences to the Queen on behalf of Hastings Borough Council and all of the people of Hastings. I am greatly saddened at Prince Philip's death.
"We are asking anyone who wants to lay a floral tribute to do so at the war memorial in Alexandra Park.
"Because of COVID-19 a physical book of remembrance is not possible, and we are inviting residents who want to leave an online message to do so on our website www.hastings.gov.uk/my-council/condolence where a virtual book of condolence is being set up."
