Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the British public has entered a period of mourning, and some may be wondering where they can lay flowers in tribute in Hampshire.

A tweet from the Royal Family at 6.30pm yesterday stated: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow."

Broadcaster Huw Edwards delivered the news of the Queen’s death live on BBC One.
