Hi ,
Welcome back to another edition of our Weekly newsletter.
It's been a very sad week following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. I think Councillor Christine Randall, Lord Mayor of Kingston upon Hull and Admiral of the Humber, said it best in her statement: “Her Majesty carried out her duties with distinction across the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth and we were honoured to welcome her to the city". The full statement, and a statement from James Dick, Lord-Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire, can be found below.
Hull City Council will be providing residents and visitors to Hull with the opportunity to come together in Queen Victoria Square to watch her state funeral, share in their grief and pay their respects on Monday 19 September. A 20-metre screen will be installed on the balcony of Hull City Hall to broadcast the proceedings from 9.00am onwards.
Also in this week's issue, we take a look at unique perspective of Hull's city centre through the eyes of our adopted Hullensian, Liam. He's picked out some of his favourite places to eat, drink and shop, as well as some history of our beloved city centre.
If you're looking to eat out, or eat in, our local foodie, Ben has picked out the area's top rated Asian restaurants. Be it a Chinese takeaway fit for Friday night’s after work, or a swish Japanese restaurant perfect for romantic couples seeking to try something new - Hull's got it all!
As always, we've got our round up of local news and a guide to the biggest and best events happening across the area this week.
Thank you for reading and I'll see you next week.
