Thousands line streets to watch the Queen's lying in state as Leeds continues to mourn - live updates

Britain’s longest-reigning monarch died on September 8 in Scotland at the age of 96.

She has since been returned to England and has been taken out of Buckingham Palace in a ceremonial procession at 2:22pm today, before being taken to Westminster Hall to lie in state.

The Queen Mother was the last member of the Royal Family to lie in state and more than 200,000 turned up to view her coffin and pay their respects.

In Leeds, a special council meeting has been called to enable councillors to share their thoughts on the Queen’s death, reflect on her service to the nation and extend sympathies to the Royal Family.
