Northamptonshire residents have been paying their respects to her late Queen Elizabeth II with flowers and messages.
As flags fly at half mast on public buildings, a steady flow of people wishing to pay their respects have visited halls, churches and council chambers.
Bells tolled a half-muffled peal adding 96 tolls – one for each year of the late Queen’s life.
People stood and paused for reflection listening to the sombre bells sound out.
