of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, our longest serving monarch,
and indeed one to whom faith and service meant so much and directed her life
and reign. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">She made some formal visits to Woking, notably for the
dedication of the Brookwood Memorial and for opening of the McLaren Technology
Centre in 2004. The Prince of Wales, now King Charles III came to the town as part
of his keenly felt environmental interests for a viewing of the film ‘An
inconvenient truth.’<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To all the Royal Family we send our heartfelt condolences at
the loss of a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Within their sorrow they have so much of
which to be proud. To King Charles III and Camilla, his Queen Consort, our best
wishes for a reign which will confidently build on the great legacy of his
mother and grandfather.<o:p></o:p></p>helenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00219360673517646442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136820160155789877.post-70238954887666304552022-06-22T07:03:00.001+00:002022-06-22T07:03:28.423+00:00Brookwood Cemetery<p>O<span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13.2px;">ur next talk, by Jenny Mukerji, will be on </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">'Brookwood Cemetery' </i><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13.2px;">It will take place on </span><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13.2px;">Monday 4th July at 8pm at the Maybury Centre, Board School Road, Woking GU21 5HD</span></p><p><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13.2px;">Doors open at 7.40pm .
