Queen Elizabeth II: Big screens to show funeral service in Hull and Lincoln

Books of condolence have been set up across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

The funeral service for the Queen will be broadcast on big screens in Hull city centre and Lincoln Cathedral, it has been announced.

The service, which begins at 11:00 BST on Monday, will take place at Westminster Abbey in London.

Across the region, books of condolence have been opened in libraries, churches and council buildings.

Special services are also taking place at many churches and religious buildings to remember the Queen's life.

The funeral service will be broadcast on a 60ft (20m) screen installed on the balcony of Hull City Hall.

In Lincoln, mourners will be able to gather and view the funeral from a large screen in the cathedral's nave as well as on a screen at Lincoln Castle.

The county council said although the castle grounds would be open on Monday, the Medieval Wall Walk, Victorian Prison and Magna Carta vault would be closed.

In East Yorkshire books of condolence are available to sign at libraries and customer service centres during office hours.

The council said flowers can be left at memorial gardens in towns across the county and at the cenotaph in Bridlington.

The authority added that memorial crosses in villages were also suitable locations.

The Lincoln proclamation took place outside the city's cathedral on Sunday

Hull Minster will be holding a special memorial service to remember the Queen on Thursday evening. People who wish to attend should reserve a place via the Minster's website.

The church is open from 09:30 BST until 19:00 BST each day for people to offer prayers, light candles and sign a book of condolence.

The North Lincs Churches Together group will be hosting a candlelit vigil around the fountain in Central Park, Scunthorpe, on Sunday evening as part of the National Moment of Reflection in honour of the Queen. A one-minute silence will be held at 20:00 BST followed by prayers and the singing of the National Anthem.

Lincoln Cathedral, which was the site of the regional proclamation of King Charles III on Sunday, is open until 20:00 BST each day until the funeral.

A book of condolence is open for people to sign.

The cathedral is hosting a series of services in the coming days culminating in a service of commemoration on Sunday.

The Very Revd Christine Wilson, dean of Lincoln, said the Queen's life was "one of loyal and unstinting service to our nation and the Commonwealth".

"She has brought great wisdom and stability and provided a shining example of Christian discipleship and witness as Supreme Governor of the Church of England," she said.

"We give thanks for her life and deeply mourn her passing."
