The smiling face of The Queen has replaced the usual adverts seen on electronic signs around Liverpool as the city pays its respects to the late monarch.
Queen Elizabeth II died at Balmoral yesterday, aged 96.
Buckingham Palace confirmed the news in a statement. It said: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow."

The nation has now entered a 10-day long phase of organised mourning, which will see Union flags above council buildings, royal residences and military bases flown at half-mast.
In Liverpool, memorial images of The Queen have been emblazoned on signposts around the city.
The flag was lowered at Liverpool Town Hall, and the bells of Liverpool Cathedral were rung out for all to hear.
Further bell-ringing, taking place at noon today, September 9, has been announced by the Church of England.
The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Roy Gladden, who welcomed The Queen to the city in an official visit in 2016, said: "It's a really sad day for the city, the country, and indeed the world as we learn about the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
"In 2016 I was privileged as consort to my wife Ros, the then-Lord Mayor of Liverpool, to welcome Her Majesty to our city. We hosted The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh at the town hall for lunch before the visit to Alder Hey Hospital and the exhibition centre.
"We were both struck by her genuine warmth and sincerity. This feeling was shared by the tens of thousands who welcomed her to the city centre, at Alder Hey, and the Pier head.
"She will beyond doubt be remembered for her unwavering dedication to the country, the commonwealth, and the peoples of the world during the last 70 years of her reign.
"My thoughts and those of the city are with the members of the Royal Family, especially her children and grandchildren at this incredibly difficult time."
