Newcastle Cathedral's bells rang out for an hour on Friday to mark the Queen's death, and now it is set to hold a memorial service on the eve of the late Monarch's funeral.
A Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving for the life of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will take place at 4pm on Sunday September 18, ahead of the Queen's Funeral at Westminster Abbey the following morning. The full Cathedral Choir will be in attendance, as will the Vice-Lord Lieutenant of Tyne and Wear, the High Sherriff of Tyne and Wear, the Acting Bishop of Newcastle and civic dignitaries.
The service is open to members of the public, though capacity is limited and access will be granted on a first-come basis, with people advised to arrive at least half an hour before the service starts. The service will also be live-streamed on the Cathedral's YouTube channel.
