CONDOLENCE BOOKS OPEN IN WAGGA WAGGA AND PARKES FOR HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH

Condolence books in honour of His Royal Highness The Duke Of Edinburgh have opened in the Wagga Wagga and Parkes Electorate Offices of Deputy Prime Minister and Member for Riverina Michael McCormack.

“Prince Philip was a much-loved figure in the Riverina and Central West and his passing has saddened many residents,” Mr McCormack said.

“I am sure they would love to express their heart-felt sorrow and gratitude for his nearly 80 years of service directly to the Royal Family and these Condolence Books provide that special opportunity.”

The Condolence Books can be signed weekdays between 8.30am and 5pm until 1 May 2021.

As well, an online Condolence Book is available for signing at www.pmc.gov.au/pmc/condolences-form

All condolences will be collated and sent to Buckingham Palace. The messages will also be archived by the Commonwealth to form a lasting record of Australia’s close relationship with the Duke over many decades.
