    Special services in commemoration of the Queen are also taking place across the district, including at St Peter's Church in Harrogate town centre and Ripon Cathedral.

    The Rev Judith Clark, assistant curate on placement at St Peter's, said:

    "The church will remain open between 9.30am and 6.30pm during the official mourning period. People can come and write in the condolence book and light a candle and have a period of quiet prayer if they wish."


    Yesterday around 100 people signed the book of condolence at the church, which will hold a special prayer service today at 12pm.

    Ripon Cathedral will hold a special Choral Evensong at 5.30pm with prayers.

    Later today church bells will ring out once more to formally proclaim Charles as the new sovereign. This time it will be a celebratory peal and the bells will be unmuffled.
