As a mark of respect, flags on all police stations across Essex will fly at half-mast in tribute to Her Majesty, who sadly passed away on Thursday 8 September.

Chief Constable Ben-Julian Harrington, who leads the tribute on behalf of Essex Police, said:

“Our deepest condolences are with the Royal Family at this very difficult time.
“Her Majesty The Queen served her country loyally and faithfully for 70 years and today we will lower our flags to both honour and remember her.”

Essex Police joins the county’s residents in their grief at this sad time.

Our towns and cities are busier than usual, as people pay their respects to HM Queen Elizabeth II.
