Mayor of Basingstoke and Deane Councillor Paul Miller read the local proclamation of the new Sovereign on Sunday 11 September in Basingstoke’s Market Place.
This was the local reading of the public notice of the accession of the new King, under national protocols. In London the public proclamation of the new Sovereign was first read out at St James's Palace on Saturday 10 September and was read the following day, in Winchester by the High Sheriff, and then in Basingstoke.
As his predecessor did in 1952, the Mayor read the proclamation in Market Place, Basingstoke. He was joined by the Deputy Lieutenant of Hampshire Lady Portal MBE DL (Louisa) and other dignitaries.
The Willis Museum in Market Place was formerly Basingstoke Town Hall, which is why this is the location for the local proclamation.
