Mayor Wendy Flynn, said: “Nelson Mandela was such an inspirational figure. I am sure there are many people in Cheltenham, like me, who want to pay their respects and so we have created a Book of Condolence to give people that opportunity.”
When the Book of Condolence is complete it will go to the South African High Commission in London.
