Queen Elizabeth II was remembered by the Northern Beaches Council on the day of her passing with condolences sent to the Royal Family.
The Queen visited the LGA back in 1970 to officially recognize the Royal Far West Children’s Health scheme in Manly while the region is also where the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee State Coach was built.
Northern Beaches Mayor Michael Regan said many the community remember her visits to the region fondly.
“Today Australians join the world in mourning the passing of Queen Elizabeth II,” Mayor Regan said on the day of her passing.
“For more than 70 years she has been a constant in our lives, an incomparable example of dedication to service and duty.
“She epitomised grace and dignity and has provided a steady hand through decades of turbulent times.
“Many in our community remember Queen Elizabeth II visiting Australia in 1954, when she became the first reigning monarch to visit Australia.
“The Queen again graced our shores in 1970 when she visited children at the Far West Children’s Health Scheme in Manly and granted the hospital the official name of Royal Far West, recognising its long-standing services to the community.
“On behalf of the Northern Beaches community we send our most heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family.”
