The War Memorial at Whitby’s Dock End has been allocated as a place for people to lay flowers during the period of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II.

People are asked to ensure that all of the plastic wraps are removed before laying them.

There will be a ceremonial removal of the flowers at 9am on Tuesday September 20.

All flowers will then be taken away to be composted and with the compost, a memorial tree will be planted in the town.
