Queen's funeral: Where to watch the service in the Midlands
Cinemas, pubs and landmarks in the Midlands will broadcast the Queen's funeral on big screens for residents to watch and pay their respects.
The Queen's funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey on Monday 19 September, it is likely to attract one of the largest UK television audiences of recent decades.
Most public screenings will stream the run-up including the late monarch's procession from Westminster Hall to Westminister Abbey. The funeral will begin at 11 o'clock in the morning.
The Queen's last journey to Windsor Castle, where she will be interred with the Duke of Edinburgh in the King George VI Memorial Chapel at St George’s Chapel, will also be broadcast.
Places like Centenary Square in Birmingham, Lincoln Castle, Coventry City Centre, and the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon, will be showing the funeral.
Vue Cinemas have also announced its venues across the region, including those in Leamington Spa and Worcester, will stream the historic event.
Where to watch Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in the Midlands?
Birmingham
The late Queen's funeral will be shown on a big screen in Centenary Square in Birmingham.
The broadcast will go live just before 11 o'clock in the morning and will finish at around 5 in the afternoon.
Leader of Birmingham City Council, Ian Ward, said he wanted to give people in the city a cheaper alternative to travelling to the capital.
He said the big screen allows people to "share the historic occasion with fellow Brummies."
"The square will be a local, easy-to-reach, space where people can reflect on the life of our longest-serving monarch and also sign our Books of Condolence at the Hall of Memory if they haven't done so already," he added.
Leicester
Leicester City Council has no plans to show the service, but Vue Cinema in Meridian Leisure Park, will be broadcasting it live from 10 o'clock.
A street gathering in Belgrave is planned for 3 o'clock in the afternoon on Windsor Avenue - it's the same location as a street party for the Queens Platinum Jubilee just three months ago.
The gathering will allow residents to reflect on the late monarch's life, and share memories and stories about her.
It is aptly happening on Windsor Avenue, near a handful of the Leicester street names with royal associations such as Epsom Road and Ascot Road.
