Members of the public have spent the weekend signing books of condolence at Danum Gallery, Library and Museum and also at Doncaster Minster, where prayers have also been said and candles lit in honour of the monarch who died at Balmoral on Thursday.

A number of floral tributes have been left at Sir Nigel Gresley Square, which has been designated as Doncaster’s official place for floral tributes to the Queen.
