The staff at Ridley Funeral Home, at 3080 Lake Shore Blvd. W., will then send the Book of Condolences to the Royal Family at Buckingham Palace.
The Queen is laying in State at Buckingham Palace until Monday. So far, thousands of mourners have lined up for miles to view her flag-draped casket.
Closer to home, the Canadian flag is being flown at half-mast at the large New Toronto flag pole, near Seventh Street.
And officials of The Toronto Scottish Regiment have cancelled their 100th Anniversary Parade and ceremony at the New Toronto Cenotaph on September 17 due to a mourning period set for the beloved monarch.
