Members of the community wishing to pay tribute to The Queen through laying flowers and messages can do so across various designated locations across our area.

Stevenage Borough Council has set up two areas to leave floral tributes in the town. One in the Town Square and one in the Bowling Green area of the High Street.

The Mayor of Stevenage, Cllr Margaret Notley and Leader of the Council, Cllr Sharon Taylor laid floral tributes in the town centre by a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II early this afternoon.

North Herts Council has also set up areas to leave tributes.

Floral tributes can be made at Broadway Gardens in Letchworth, Priory Gardens in Royston and The Cloisters in Hitchin.

The council has asked that flowers are taken out of cellophane wrappers, and that no naked flames or candles are left.
