Floral tributes to the Queen left at sites around the country will be removed from Tuesday.
Guidance offered to councils and churches for the National Mourning period advises that flowers should be removed from Tuesday, September 20, the day after the Queen's funeral. Tributes at Royal properties will remain in place for longer, as the family will be in a period of mourning for longer than the general public.
The Government's Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities issued guidance to faith groups, including the Church of England, which the Queen was head of, regarding floral tributes and the period of National Mourning. It says groups such as churches that host floral tributes left by the public should consider "the need to formally mark the removal of the flowers at 9am on the day following the State Funeral".
