Royal mourning will be observed by members of the Royal Family, those who work in the Royal Household, representatives on official duties and troops who carry out ceremonial duties.
Throughout this period, royal residences will close until after the Queen’s funeral. These include the Queen’s Gallery, the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace and the Queen’s Gallery in Edinburgh. Balmoral Castle and Sandringham House will also be closed, along with Hillsborough Castle – the Queen’s official residence in Northern Ireland.
Flags at royal residences will remain at half-mast until 8am on the morning after the last day of royal mourning.
