Liverpool's museums and galleries pay tribute to The Queen

Liverpool's museums and galleries have paid tribute to Her Majesty the Queen following her death at Balmoral Castle aged 96.

The Tate Liverpool shared an image of a painting created by Andy Warhol in 1985 to its Instagram page. They said: "We are deeply saddened to hear the loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Our thoughts are with the Royal Family.

"In this time of international mourning, we are remembering Her Majesty's love and support of the art world, and of Tate. She has been present at some of the most significant moments in Tate's history, from her first visit to Tate Britain for its extension in 1979, to the opening of Tate Modern in 2000."
