We would like to offer our sympathy to Her Majesty The Queen and all members of the Royal Family on the sad passing of Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh.
For nearly 7 decades he served The Queen as the longest-serving royal consort in British history and contributed to our country in so many ways.
We will all mourn his sad loss and take time over the coming days to remember all that he did during his lifetime for us.
We have ceased political campaigning for the forthcoming elections with immediate effect as a sign of respect.
