Yorkshire stands ready to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth ahead of the funeral - The Yorkshire Post says

Monday will also present an opportunity for people to not only pay their final respects but for those within the region to play a part in proceedings.

Units from Catterick Garrison, including the Royal Lancers, the 1st Battalion of the Scots Guards and the 5th Regiment Royal Artillery, will be joining the funeral parade.

While junior soldiers at the Army Foundation College Harrogate have already become some of the first to swear the oath of allegiance to King Charles III. It signifies the importance of the Monarchy to the forces and Yorkshire.

Bell ringers will also spring into action across the region as they play their part in giving Queen Elizabeth a worthy send off.

The bell will ring an hour before the funeral as a call to communities. And Yorkshire’s communities are already preparing to pay tribute to a Monarch that reigned over the nation with such distinction for 70 years.

Those that can’t make it to London will have the opportunity to gather around countless screenings.

Cathedrals will be open for people to come in for reflection, to offer prayers, light a candle and to join in observing the two minutes silence at 11am before the start of the funeral.

Faith leaders have also called on people to ensure that no one is grieving alone.

Her Majesty’s passing is a momentous occasion and one that no doubt the region of Yorkshire will mark with solemnity and humanity.
