Queen Elizabeth II 1926 - 2022
The staff, pupils, governors and families of Ilford County High School are deeply saddened at the news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Our thoughts are with the Royal Family at this time.
“Books of condolence will open today (Friday 9 September) at six buildings across the borough, namely Hainault Library, Central Library, Goodmayes Library, Wanstead Library, Woodford Green Library, and Valentines Mansion, for the people of the London Borough of Redbridge to express their grief and gratitude to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
“Her Majesty’s loss will be felt across every corner of the globe. Today and the coming days will be a period of sadness and reflection on her legacy.”
The Queen, aged 96, was the longest-serving monarch in British history, beginning her reign in 1952 at age 25.
As a mark of respect, the Union Jack flag will be flown half-mast at Redbridge Town Hall.
