On Sunday 11 September, the Nottinghamshire County Proclamation took place at County Hall, Nottingham, which was followed by the Mansfield district Proclamation. Afterwards, Parish Council Proclamations also took place.
The Proclamation of the new Sovereign is a tradition that can be traced back over many centuries and the ceremony does not create a new King. It is an announcement of the accession which took place immediately on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
