Buckingham Palace has asked the public to refrain from leaving floral tributes to the Duke of Edinburgh at royal residences.

Dozens of bouquets were laid outside Buckingham Palace after Prince Philip's death was announced.

Royal household staff placed a framed notice announcing the duke's death on the front gates of the Palace.

But it was removed after an hour to avoid gatherings amid ongoing Covid pandemic restrictions.

The Royal Family asked members of the public to consider making a donation to charity instead of leaving floral tributes in memory of Prince Philip.

The government has urged people not to gather at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle in breach of coronavirus regulations.

The Palace launched an online book of condolence on its official website where it encouraged people to leave messages, a selection of which will be passed to members of the Royal Family.
