Proclamation ceremony for King Charles III held at the Guildhall Swansea, Sunday 11th September.

You can now watch the short ceremony of the official proclamation on the death of Her Majesty and on the accession of King Charles III.

The Proclamation was made by the High Sheriff of West Glamorgan Stephen H Rogers Esq JP in the presence of His Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of West Glamorgan, Louise Fleet CStJ JP, the Deputy Leader of Swansea Council Andrea Lewis, The Lord Mayor of the City and County of Swansea Mike Day and the Lord Mayor's Chaplain Brian Farr.

Although the heir to the throne automatically becomes monarch on the death of the sovereign, the accession proclamations are the formal announcements of the succession at national and county levels.

A Book of Condolence has been opened in Swansea for members of the public to pay their respects to HM The Queen and is available at the Civic Centre Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm and on Saturday mornings from 9am to Noon.

Residents can also sign the book of condolence online here: www.swansea.gov.uk/bookofcondolence
​
Floral tributes can be placed on the Rotunda Green at Guildhall during the period of National Mourning, which will continue until the funeral of Her Majesty at Westminster Abbey.
