    About 100 floral tributes to the Queen have now been placed at Harrogate war memorial.

    People began laying flowers shortly after the Queen's death was announced on Thursday.

    The number has grown steadily since, with many accompanied by moving handwritten notes, some written by children.

    Yesterday, Andrew Jones, the MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough, signed the book of condolence at St. Peter’s Church in Harrogate.

    Mr Jones had previously attended the choral matins special memorial service for the Queen.

    St. Peter’s is open from 8:30am-6-30pm every day during the period of mourning where there is a book of condolence that people can write in.

    Also, on Wednesday and Friday at 12noon there will be a short act of prayer.
