The United Kingdom has entered a period of national mourning following the peaceful death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96 last Thursday.

A period of national mourning is expected to last until the day after the Queen’s state funeral, which will take place on Monday 19 September. The government has announced that this day will be a bank holiday. Across the country, events including concerts, sporting fixtures and strikes have been cancelled.

We’d like to know how you feel about this ten-day period of national mourning. Do you agree with the steps that government has taken? Do you have any concerns? How has it affected you personally?
