In Whitby the ceremony took place on Dock End with the Deputy Town Mayor, Cllr Bob Dalrymple introducing the Deputy Lord Lieutenant, Capt. Stephen Upright, who read the Proclamation,. This was followed by prayers offered by the Reverend Michal Gobbett.

In Bridlington a ceremony took place at the War Memorial Gardens with the Deputy Mayor reading the proclamation.

Scarborough and Whitby MP Sir Robert Goodwill thinks it's important the events took place.

Hundreds of people turned out for the public proclamation ceremonies.

Traditionally the events would have been the way that the public learnt of a change in Monarch.
