The televised state funeral of Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, will be screened at Ripon Cathedral from 9.30am on Monday.

All are welcome to attend to see the coverage from Westminster Abbey, where the funeral service will begin at 11am.

Before then, at 3.30pm on Sunday the cathedral will hold a service of commemoration for the region with the Bishop of Leeds, the Rt. Revd Nick Baines.

Those intending to attend the service are asked to be seated by 3pm and those unable to attend can see the service screened live on YouTube.

Throughout the period of mourning for the Queen, the cathedral is open for extended hours each day from 8am until 7pm for the lighting of candles and prayer until the day of the funeral.

People are invited to sign the books of condolence, leaving their own messages. Flowers can be left in a dedicated area of the cathedral grounds near the main entrance.
