'It's like a member of the family has gone': Leeds mourners pay tribute to the Queen

People from across Leeds have been paying tribute to the Queen after Buckingham Palace announced her sad death on Thursday at the age of 96.

Mourners came out to Leeds Civic Hall in the city centre to lay floral tributes on the steps and head inside to sign the book of condolence. The Lord Mayor and councillors were some of the first to lay flowers on the steps on Friday.

Leeds residents will be able to lay floral tributes until Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral during the period of National Mourning. Leeds City Council has also made an online book of condolence available for people who can't make it to the Civic Hall.
