A condolence book has been opened at Liverpool Cathedral for the public to offer their condolences over the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Church leaders say the book will be available from 8am to 6pm in the Lady Chapel.
From 8am - 10am, it can be accessed from the outside doors of the Queen’s Walk. From 10am to 6pm people can access the Lady Chapel via the main Cathedral.
Visitors will also be able to lay flowers on either side of the Rankin Porch.
There is also space for private prayer and the lighting of candles.
The Cathedral community will be remembering Her Majesty in our prayers at every service this week.
A special memorial service is being planned - details will be published shortly.
The Queen formally opened Liverpool Cathedral in 1977.
The Dean of Liverpool, The Very Revd Dr Sue Jones said:
“Alongside the city and nation we mourn the loss of her Majesty. Queen Elizabeth is held in great affection by members of the cathedral company as we remember with fondness her visits to the cathedral, not least when she formally opened the cathedral in 1977. We give thanks for her ministry and pray for the Royal Family at this time”
People wanting to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth will be able to do so at the Town Hall.
In addition, books of condolence will also be open at both Bootle Town Hall and The Atkinson in Southport.
