HENLEY fell silent for one minute to mark the death of the Duke of Edinburgh.
A brief ceremony was held on the steps of the town hall at 3pm on Saturday, when Prince Philip’s funeral service at Windsor Castle started.
The silence was led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson from his official home at Chequers and thousands of towns across Britain took part.
Mayor Ken Arlett, his wife Mayoress Dorothy Arlett and deputy Mayor David Eggleton were joined by Oxfordshire deputy lieutenant Lynda Atkins and Ann Evans and John Green, who are chairwoman and president respectively of the Royal British Legion’s Henley and Peppard branch.
