Whitby Town Council say arrangements have been made for the placing of floral tributes in the town.
The War Memorial at Dock End has been allocated as a place for residents and visitors to lay flowers during the period of mourning.
The Town Council say
"Should you wish to lay flowers during this time, please ensure that all of the plastic wraps are removed before laying them.
At the end of the mourning period, at 9am the day following the funeral, there will be a ceremonial removal of the flowers. All flowers will then be taken away to be composted, with the compost a tree will be planted in the town, in memory of the Sovereign."
The union flag at Dock End will be flown at half mast until 8:00am on the morning following the state funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The council say that the flag will be raised at 11:00am on the day of the official proclamation of the accession to the throne of King Charles III for a period of 24 hours.
