Hundreds of people attended a vigil in Nottingham to pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II. Crowds flocked to Old Market Square on Sunday evening (September 18) to remember the monarch on the eve of her funeral.
The event, organised by Nottingham City Council, started at 7pm with a performance by the Hucknall and Linby Mining Community Brass Band, which was accompanied by photos of the Queen's visits to Nottingham. These included her opening Queen's Medical Centre and the University of Nottingham's Jubilee Campus, as well as trips to the city for her Silver, Gold and Diamond Jubilees.
The vigil, which included speeches from council leader David Mellen and faith and community leaders, was capped off with a minute's silence at 8pm. Among those paying tribute in the crowd on the night was Michelle Bennett, of Rise Park.
