A Calderdale civic building will be open on the day of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral to enable people to pay their respects.

Halifax Town Hall will throw open its doors on Monday, September 19, between 10am and 4pm, for people to pay their respects, lay flowers and sign the Book of Condolence opened by the council.

The Book of Condolence is in the town hall’s main Victoria Hall, and people have been allowed to lay floral tributes outside the building, in Crossley Street, Halifax, since the Queen’s passing last Thursday.

The condolence book will remain in place until 5pm on Tuesday, September 20.
