Throughout the UK floral tributes have been left for Queen Elizabeth II - and this will continue throughout the period of mourning.
For those who are not able to get to a Royal residence such as Balmoral in Scotland or Buckingham Palace in London, there are numerous places around our region where flowers are being welcomed. These range across Northumberland, North Tyneside, Newcastle, Gateshead, South Tyneside and County Durham.
We already know that the Newcastle Civic Centre and the Millennium Bridge will continue to be illuminated in purple, while a range of vigils and ceremonies are to take place across the region. Over the weekend, events proclaiming King Charles will also be held.
