‘You are an inspiration’ – Queen Camilla’s message to Spellow

HM Queen Camilla has sent a special message to everyone who has been involved in the rebirth of Spellow Community Hub and Library, which has reopened.

Her Majesty has donated books from her personal collection, which are on display in a bookcase in the library.

Her letter was read out by the Lord Lieutenant of Merseyside, Mark Blundell, at today’s civic reopening, and is reproduced in full below.

To the Spellow Library, as you gather today to celebrate the reopening of Spellow Lane Library, I wanted to express my heartfelt admiration to your whole community for the way in which you have all – residents, businesses, charities, local heroes, lovers of books – pulled together to create the next chapter of this very special place.

In doing so, you have demonstrated to our entire country, the power of resilience, solidarity and kindness in the face of adversity.

You are an inspiration, and I do hope that you are enormously proud of yourselves.

Camilla R
