EDITOR ’ S NOTE
Podcast
This magazine had started to go into production when the news broke that Her Majesty the Queen had passed . It was a time when it ' s super busy and all hands to the pump to get the magazine ready to go to press . This time , although we were busy , on the run up to the funeral there really did seem to be a pause , a slow down and evidence of a nation in real mourning . During that period , I gathered tributes from our local business community about what the Queen meant to them and the impact she had on their lives . The result is on pages 4-5 . I hope you enjoy reading the personal stories and tributes as much as I did .
Whilst I was deciding what to put on the front cover this time , stories were circling online about a " Banksy " tribute to the Queen

appearing in Royal Wootton Bassett . When I saw it , I thought , that ' s it , that ' s our cover . It says goodbye , shares the emotion many of us felt , and makes a statement about the end of an era . It ' s incredibly poignant and clever . It hasn ' t been announced as an official Banksy , but in my opinion the artist deserves some acclaim for their ability to sum up the tone of the nation through art .
As we enter a new era with a King who has for many years worked hard to champion the environment and sustainability , it ' s fitting that our special feature this time is ' Going Green '. The pages of this edition are packed with stories of how Wiltshire businesses are leading by example when it comes to the green agenda .
I think many of us at the moment feel slightly unsettled by change . A change of monarch , the change of Prime Minister
