Flags have been lowered to halfmast, and condolence books are available for Selwyn residents to pay their respects, as the District acknowledges the passing of Queen Elizabeth II (age 96) on Friday, September 9th (NZ time). The Council has lowered its flags at its facilities to half-mast in acknowledgement of the death of Her Majesty the Queen. Mayor Sam Broughton noted the sense of loss that many Selwyn residents will feel and passed his condolences to her family. “In particular, we think of the Royal Family who have lost a loved mother, grandmother and great grandmother. For all of my life, and for the life of most New Zealanders, we have only known one Monarch. She had an enduring presence and service to the commonwealth for seventy years,” commented Sam. “Her life was one of leadership and commitment across the world, and her dedication was
reciprocated with respect, warmth and love where ever she travelled,” Sam concluded. A condolence book was placed at the Council offices, 2 Norman Kirk Drive, Rolleston, from Monday, September 12th, for residents to leave messages of condolence in remembrance of Her Majesty. The book will be available in the foyer of the Council offices during business hours, 8.30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, for two weeks. Condolence books are also available at all Selwyn Libraries. The flags are to be flown at halfmast up to and including the day of Her Majesty’s State Memorial Service in New Zealand.

Opera on London Bridge (also known by its code phrase "London Bridge is down") was the funeral plan for Queen Elizabeth II. The plan includes the announcement of her death, the period of official mourning, and the details of her state funeral. The plan was created as early as the 1960s and revised many mes in the years before her death on Friday, September 9th, 2022 (NZ me). Ini ally, codenames were used by key officials in an effort to prevent Buckingham Palace switchboard operators from learning of the death prior to a public announcement New Zealand will mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II with a one-off public holiday on Monday, September 26th, 2022.
