Buildings, parks, pubs or businesses cannot be renamed after the late Queen Elizabeth II without permission and will be allowed only if they are “dignified and appropriate”, the Cabinet Office has said.

The name of the late queen is going to be “closely protected” in terms of how it can be used and permission will be “sparingly granted”, according to guidance on the use of modern royal names and titles.
