The proclamation reading took place in the car park by Warboys Library at 4pm on 11th September 2022. Warboys Clerk to the Council, Roy Reeves, introduced Chairman Dr Sheila Withams who read the proclamation, summarised as follows:
We come together this afternoon following the sad passing of your late sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II. Our sadness at this time is shed by people across the globe as we remember with gratitude the lifetime of service given by our longest serving Monarch. But the basis on which our Monarchy is built has ensured that through the centuries the crown has passed in an unbroken line of succession. Today’s meeting marks the formal Proclamation to the people of Warboys and the beginning of our new King’s reign. ‘God Save the King’.
