Moving messages and flowers are among the ways the North East has been paying tribute to Queen Elizabeth II in the days following her death.
Her Majesty, who was Britain's longest-reigning monarch, passed away on Thursday, September 8, aged 96. People in the North East have been paying their respects at memorial sites across the region.
At Newcastle Civic Centre floral tributes have been arriving since the news of the late Queen's passing on Thursday. Tributes placed at the site included a message from Girlguiding Central Division, which read: "Thank you Ma'am for your service from all in Central Division. 'The lives of millions of girls and women around the world have been influenced by the Girl Guide movement' - HM Queen Elizabeth II. Our Patron from 1952."
