The city of Manchester will be observing the official 10-day mourning period. More details will be added as the details are confirmed.
The flag on Central Library has been lowered to half-mast as a mark of respect to the Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The flag will remain in place up to 8am on the day after the State Funeral.
The Queen’s Books of Condolence will be opened tomorrow in Central Library.
The Books of Condolence will be open to visitors from 9am to 6pm from Monday to Sunday until the day following the funeral.
Residents may wish to lay flowers to mark Her Majesty’s death. You can lay flowers at St Ann’s Square.
We would ask anyone laying floral tributes to remove any plastic/cellophane wrappings and anything that is non-biodegradable. This will ensure that when collected, all of the flowers can be composted.
