Here's the moment Nottingham folk stood for the national anthem at the newly-opened Binks Yard, where the Queen's funeral was playing on a big screen. God save the King 🇬🇧
Nottinghamshire Live reporter Lana Adkin travelled to Binks Yard in Sneinton, where people gathered to watch the Queen's funeral on a big screen. Here's what she thought of the moving occasion.
Gary Rudkin, the Head of Operations at The Island Quarter, told me they were handing out free tea and coffee to everyone watching. A warm brew was definitely needed as it was very chilly outside. A bonus was the free biscuits to dunk in the tea. Joy said: “She’s been, I would say, a warrior. She’s stood up for the country, she’s been upstanding, admirable. Somebody who the world looked up to.
“I switched on Radio Nottingham and we heard that they were going to show it here. It’s local, let's come out and be around fellow people.” By 11am, the majority of the tables were taken and seats filled. It definitely had a community feel, people coming together paying respects to the queen.
