Silence fell across the region earlier today, as the nation marked a historic moment to bid farewell to Queen Elizabeth II. The monarch, who became Britain's longest serving sovereign after 70 years on the throne, passed away at Balmoral on Thursday, September 8, plunging the nation into sombre moods and a period of unprecedented mourning.
Shops closed in her honour, thousands of floral tributes were left across the country, and many came together to express their love and support for the late monarch, sharing their own personal feelings of grief after the Queen's death.
Pubs, care homes, cinemas, Manchester Cathedral and Exchange Square all came together this morning showing the Queen's funeral, before falling silent in her honour shortly before midday.
In Manchester city centre, normally bustling streets were deserted and the Metrolink stopped running as the ceremony began. Many paid tribute to the monarch when spoken to by the Manchester Evening News , describing their experience of the shared grief felt since the Queen's death.
