Her Majesty The Queen 1926 - 2022 All of us here at the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead are saddened by the death of Her Majesty The Queen. The Royal Family is such an important part of the history and vibrancy of Windsor and the wider borough. The Queen saw Windsor as her home and and we are honoured that the Committal Service will be taking place at Windsor Castle on Monday 19 September, following the State Funeral in Westminster Abbey. We’re sure that many people from the town, and further afield, will want to come and pay their respects before Her Majesty is laid to rest. Please be aware that viewing spaces along The Long Walk are limited and areas will reach capacity very quickly. The viewing areas are available from 6am on Monday 19 September. The State Funeral in London will be broadcast live on the screens situated on one side of The Long Walk. Read more
