As we continue to mourn Her Late Majesty The Queen, there are several ways people across Northumberland can pay their respects to Her Late Majesty.
Lying in State
From Wednesday, The Queen will lie in state for “four clear days” in Westminster Hall until the morning of her State Funeral on Monday, September 19.
A guide has been produced by the Government on how people can pay their respects during the lying in state - please click HERE
There will also be a National Minute's Silence at 8pm on Sunday 18th September

Following the death of Her Majesty the Queen, members of the public are invited to lay floral tributes at a number of locations around Northumberland as a mark of respect.

Books of condolence
Books of condolence are now open across Northumberland. These will be open until the day after the funeral and Northumberland County Council invite members of the public to record their thoughts and sympathies in the books.
