A multi-faith service will be held in memory of Queen Elizabeth II as the North East comes together to mourn.
The special service, led by Hindu Chaplin to the Armed Forces of Great Britain Acharya Krishan Kant Attri MBE, will be held at the Hindu Temple in Newcastle on Sunday. A havan ritual will be held between 12pm and 1pm before prayers between 1pm and 2pm.
People from all faiths and religions are invited to come along to the special service to pay tribute to the Queen as one community. Announcing the event, the Hindu Temple said the Queen oversaw "the transformation of British society into a multi-racial, multi-cultural and multifaith community".
