Where can I watch the Queen's funeral in Suffolk?

The funeral service for the Queen will be shown on a big screen on the Cornhill in Ipswich.

Ipswich Borough Council said it decided to broadcast the service after 6,500 people gathered to hear Sunday's formal proclamation of the accession of King Charles III..

There would be limited seating for those who needed it, but people could also take their own chairs, it added.

Lord-Lieutenant of Suffolk, Clare, Countess of Euston, said: "In view of the enormous numbers that attended the reading of the proclamation, I think this is a very good idea and it will give the people of Suffolk an opportunity to gather together to mourn our great Queen."

In the west of the county, Moreton Hall Community Centre in Bury St Edmunds will be open from 10:00 to show the funeral.

The centre posted on its Facebook page: "We feel it right to offer the community of Moreton Hall the chance to come together to pay respects and witness this sad but historical event.

"Particularly, if you live alone and would like to be among others in your community for this occasion."

West Suffolk District Council added: "Reflecting on the life of and mourning the death of Her Majesty The Queen is a very personal thing and each town, village or local organisations are best placed to decide what their communities want.

"If any of these local organisations, such as parish and town councils or community organisations are screening this momentous and historic event, we have said we will support them wherever possible."

How will transport in Suffolk be affected?

Extra trains have been added to the schedule for the week before the funeral, with people expected to travel to London to pay their respects to the Queen.

Jonathan Denby, from Greater Anglia, said trains were starting earlier in the day, and running later into the night.

Network Rail said trains would be running as normal on the day of the funeral, rather than what would normally be a reduced service for a bank holiday.

Suffolk County Council said that all of its park and ride sites would be closed on Monday.

What else in Suffolk will be closed for the funeral?

All libraries in the county will be closed on the day of the funeral, the county council has said.

The same applies for household waste and recycling centres.

Ipswich Borough Council said all of its sports centres and swimming pools would be closed, as would Shopmobility.

East Suffolk District Council's leisure centres will be closed for the day, and scheduled refuse collections would not be made.

Babergh and Mid Suffolk district councils said their leisure centres would also be closed and there would be no bin collections on Monday, with usual collections a day later than normal.

Many businesses and retailers have also announced they will be closing.

How will health services in Suffolk be affected?

There will be no GP appointments across Suffolk with GP surgeries closed to mark the Queen's funeral.

NHS officials said anyone with an appointment booked for that day should be contacted to reschedule.

The East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Ipswich Hospital, said more of its services would be running compared to other bank holidays but that some appointments would be rearranged.

"If you have an appointment for Monday, please do get in touch with the hospital via the number on your appointment letter if you haven't heard from us by Friday morning," it said in a statement on its website.

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the hospital in Bury St Edmunds, said it would directly contact any patients whose appointments or procedures needed to be rescheduled.

However, it said: "Some of our clinics - phlebotomy and some obstetrics - are going ahead as normal, so if you don't hear from us, then please attend for your appointment as planned. If you are unsure, please contact the relevant team."

In the statement on its website, it said any activity that was postponed would be rebooked as soon as possible.

James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in Gorleston, Norfolk, said it would continue to run emergency, urgent and cancer services on the day.

It said it would run a "reduced routine service... to allow as many staff as possible to participate in the bank holiday and witness the funeral".

"Patients whose appointments are postponed on Monday will be contacted by the hospital specialty in charge of their appointment to confirm," it tweeted.

"Patients who do not hear from us before 19 September should attend as planned or notify the hospital if they are unable to attend their appointment."
