Crowds gathered to hear the proclamation of King Charles III in Enfield.

Following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Enfield mayor Cllr Doris Jiagge read the proclamation outside Enfield Civic Centre on Sunday, September 11.

Enfield Council said a large crowd formed to watch the speech at 2pm.

Before the proclamation, Cllr Jiagge also wrote to Buckingham Palace to express her condolences to the Royal Family.

In the letter, she mentioned how it was a great honour to welcome the Queen and Prince Philip to Enfield in October 2003, when they toured the market square and met traders.

During the visit, the Queen unveiled a plaque under the roof of Market House to celebrate 700 years of trading in Enfield Market Place.

She also visited spots such as Edmonton Green Shopping Centre and Keyes Meadow Primary School before ending the tour with a four-course banquet at Forty Hall.

Since the announcement of the death, flags at the Civic Centre in Silver Street and over council buildings were lowered to half-mast as a mark of respect.

Books of condolences are also available to sign at the Civic Centre reception, Edmonton Green Library, Ordnance Road Unity Library and Palmers Green Library from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Flowers can also be laid at the Galliard Road entrance of Jubilee Park, the Alderman’s Hill Entrance of Broomfield Park, the Park Lane entrance of Pymmes Park, at Forty Hall, Groveland’s Park and Bourne Hill and Durants Park.

Enfield Council leader Cllr Nesil Caliskan said: “On behalf of the people of Enfield I would like to offer my deepest sympathies and condolences to the Royal Family following the death of Her Majesty the Queen.

“Her Majesty was a truly dedicated and devoted public servant and worked tirelessly in her role meeting many residents and communities in the UK and across the world.”
