    Bettys' Harlow Carr branch and RHS Harlow Carr have said they will close on Sunday as a mark of respect to Prince Philip.

    Prince Philip's funeral is due to take place at St George's Chapel, in the grounds of Windsor Castle, at 3pm on Saturday.

    Bettys tweeted this morning its Harlow Carr branch and tea house will be closed all-day on Saturday.

    RHS Harlow Carr will also be closed on the day.

    Its gardens also closed on Friday last week when news of the Duke of Edinburgh's death was announced.

    It said:

    "As a royal charter charity, the closure is a mark of respect to our patron, HM The Queen, in line with traditions organisations like ours wish to follow.
    "We're sorry for the inconvenience and are offering a refund or a chance to rebook and retail vouchers to visitors affected."


    Saturday afternoon's sports fixtures are also affected.

    Harrogate Town's game on Saturday has been brought forward to 12.30pm in line with all professional fixtures.

    The England and Wales Cricket is requesting local cricket to stop for an hour to pay their respects.

    "We are asking all recreational cricket clubs across England and Wales to pause play between 3pm and 4pm next Saturday in order to pay their respects alongside observing the one minute silence at 3pm."

    The Army Foundation College in Harrogate has said there will be no official mark of respect but those officers that can will honour the minute's silence during the service.
