NOTICE OF MOTION UNDER STANDING ORDER 13
The Coronation of King Charles III and Queen
Camilla takes place on Saturday 6th May 2023, following the King’s
Accession to the throne on 8th September 2022 upon the sad passing
of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The Coronation itself precedes a weekend of
celebration across the nation, with a particular focus on community and
volunteering, culminating in The Big Help Out on Monday 8th May – a
national day of volunteering and service to the community. This theme is in
line with the King’s particular wishes for a meaningful and lasting legacy
which makes a difference to local life, and in recognition of His own personal
dedication to public service.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æ and Bute Council therefore:
1.
Welcomes the work being carried out by communities
around Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æ and Bute who are arranging celebratory events of all kinds to
mark the Coronation, and who are planning to make their own very significant
contributions to the national Big Help Out at a local level;
2.
Acknowledges, on this historic occasion, the
tremendous dedication and commitment of Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æ and Bute’s volunteers and local
groups, which makes a difference all year round, and thanks them for their
ongoing contributions to community life; and
3.
Sends its congratulations and best wishes to King
Charles III and Queen Camilla on the occasion of His Coronation on Saturday 6th
May 2023, and agree that the Provost write
to the King expressing these sentiments on behalf of the Council and the
communities of Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æ and Bute.
