Guidance for leaving floral tributes

Thousands of people have visited Windsor to leave floral tributes following the death of Her Majesty The Queen. The Royal Family website has guidance for those wishing to pay tribute by leaving floral tributes at Royal Residences.

If you are visiting Windsor to leave a floral tribute to Her Majesty The Queen, please ensure that you remove any plastic packaging from the flowers and leave them outside Cambridge Gate at the top of the Long Walk, as directed by stewards.

Flowers from this area are moved inside Windsor Castle on a regular basis in line with arrangements by the Royal Household.
