Worcester Cathedral and churches around the city have put plans in place to allow people to honour the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. 

The Dean of Worcester, Peter Atkinson, said: "We are all deeply saddened by the death of Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, monarch for the whole of the lives of most of us.

"We give thanks to God for her life of selfless and unstinting service, to which she dedicated herself at her Coronation. 

"We give thanks too for her inspiring Christian witness.

"We pray for the Royal Family in their time of grief, and especially for our new King and Queen.

"As at so many times in the history of our City and County down the centuries, we welcome all people to come to Worcester Cathedral to give thanks, to mourn, to remember, to reflect, and to pray for God’s blessing on the new reign.

"God save the King."

There is a condolence book at Worcester Cathedral where people can pay their respects.

A spokesperson for Worcester Cathedral outlined their opening hours: "From Monday - Saturday, access to the East End of the Cathedral and the Crypt begins to be restricted shortly before 5pm as we prepare for our daily service of Choral Evensong (or Evening Prayer) at 5.30pm - all are welcome to attend.

"General visiting ends at 5pm, last entry at 4.30pm.

"On Sundays, we hold our main Sung Eucharist at 10.30am; all are welcome to attend, but the Cathedral does not open for visiting until 1pm.

"There is also Choral Evensong at 4pm and last entry for general visiting is 2.30pm, with closure to visitors at 3pm."

Flowers are also being placed on the Cenotaph in memory of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Worcester Muslim Welfare Association confirmed there will be a book of condolence open at the mosque for those who wish to use it. 

Numerous churches around the city also have condolence books open for people to express their condolences. 

Many Worcester residents have also honoured the Queen's passing by placing flowers outside of Worcester Cathedral.
