Cllr Alan White, leader of Staffordshire County Council, said locals were continuing to want to mark the death of the monarch.

> “Across the county there will be various community events or services where people can take part in Sunday’s minute silence to remember Her Majesty.  
>  
> “Businesses, services and schools will be closed either for the full day or part of the day on Monday to enable as many people as possible to watch Her Majesty’s funeral.  
>  
> “I have taken great pride in witnessing how the people of Staffordshire have remembered and reflected on her life since we heard the news last Thursday.”
