Following the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II in Balmoral on September 8th 2022, the proclamation of the new King was heard,
Up and down the country Proclamations were heard.
Towns and cities all proclaiming the new King.
I went to hear the formal proclamation for West Yorkshire, held on the steps of the Civic Hall, Leeds.
There the King's Representative for West Yorkshire, Mr Ed Anderson, welcomed the crowds.
Also attending the Lord Mayor of Leeds, The West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin and other ntable guests, Hilary Benn, the MP for Leeds Central.
The Deputy High Sheriff read out the proclamation:
”Whereas it has pleased almighty God to call to his mercy our late Sovereign lady Queen Elizabeth II of blessed and glorious memory, by whose decease the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is solely and rightfully come to the Prince Charles Philip Arthur George.
“We, therefore, the lords spiritual and temporal of this realm, and members of the House of Commons, together with other members of Her late Majesty’s Privy Council, and representatives of the realms and territories, aldermen, and citizens of London and others, do now hereby, with one voice and consent of tongue and heart, publish and proclaim that the Prince Charles Philip Arthur George, is now, by the death of our late Sovereign of happy memory, become our only lawful and rightful liege lord, Charles III, by the grace of God, of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, and of his other realms and territories, King, head of the Commonwealth, defender of the faith, to whom we do acknowledge all faith and obedience with humble affection, beseeching God, by whom kings and queens do reign, to bless His Majesty with long and happy years to reign over us.”
