They said: “I’m not a royalist but you cannot deny she served her country to the best of her ability and worked tirelessly until the day she died.

“It’s my way of thanking her for a lifetime of servitude and respecting the loss of a great grandmother, grandmother, mother, sister.

“She was an incredible woman and deserves to be mourned.”

Others are doing similar and deciding to mourn the loss of Her Majesty in their own home.

Among them is Simon Kindleysides, who will be watching the state funeral with his two dogs Summer and Blue.
