Last updated 15th Sep 2022
The funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II is to be broadcast on big screens in Ipswich on Monday.
The screening will be on the Cornhill, starting at 10am.
Limited seating will be provided, although people are being urged to bring their own chairs and refreshments.
Mayor of Ipswich, Councillor John Cook, says:
“After the huge interest in the Suffolk Proclamation event that saw around 6,500 people gather in the Cornhill on Sunday, the Council has decided it would be good to provide an opportunity for people to come together and watch the Queen’s funeral on Monday.”
HM Lord-Lieutenant of Suffolk, Clare, Countess of Euston:
“In view of the enormous numbers that attended the Reading of the Proclamation on Sunday I think this is a very good idea and it will give the people of Suffolk an opportunity to gather together to mourn our Great Queen.”
