The Queen's youngest son, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex visited Manchester today to pay tribute to Her Majesty following her death last week.
The couple attended the Queen's procession and lying-in-state ceremony at Westminster Hall yesterday, September 14th alongside the rest of the Royal Family.
The royal couple were greeted by Council Leader Bev Craig, Lord Mayor of Manchester Councillor Donna Ludford and Lord-Lieutenant of Greater Manchester Diane Hawkins before being escorted around the city.
On this short trip, the Queen's youngest son viewed Manchester's book of condolence at Manchester's Central Library.
They then travelled to view floral tributes in St Ann's Square, where they greeted other mourners laying flowers.
The royal couple are also expected to go to the city's cathedral to light a candle in memory of the late Queen before they leave Manchester later today.
