Hundreds watch live-streaming of the State Funeral of HM The Queen

Hundreds of people gathered at Norwich Cathedral to watch the live streaming of the State Funeral of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II which took place at Westminster Abbey on Monday 19 September.

More than 500 people of all ages filled the Nave and East End of the Cathedral to watch the BBC coverage of Her late Majesty's State Funeral which started at 11 am following a procession from the Palace of Westminster.

Norwich Cathedral's Acting Dean, The Revd Dr Peter Doll, said: "It was a great privilege the welcome the many hundreds of people who came to the Cathedral for the broadcast of the funeral of Her late Majesty The Queen. Norwich Cathedral became an extension of Westminster Abbey as those gathered took part in the hymns and the prayers."

Since Her late Majesty's death was announced on Thursday 8 September, the Cathedral has been open to all to pay their respects, to sign books of condolence, to lay flowers, light candles and to attend worship.

The Cathedral's books of condolence will be archived for posterity as a tribute to Her late Majesty from the people of Norfolk.

In the week before the funeral, more than 1,000 people from across Norfolk also paid tribute to HM The Queen at a special service at Norwich Cathedral. The Service of Thanksgiving and Commemoration for the Life and Reign of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second took place on Thursday 15 September.

At midday, on Friday 9 September the Cathedral tolled a bell 96 times in tribute to Her late Majesty The Queen.

Norwich Cathedral welcomed Her late Majesty The Queen three times during her reign. Most recently The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh visited in May 2010 to officially open the Cathedral's new Refectory and Hostry.
