Londoners wishing to formally pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II will be able to do so starting Friday.
A book of condolences has been placed in the lobby of London City Hall. Members of the public can leave a message in addition to signing their name in the book.
The book will remain at city hall until the day of the Queen's funeral.
Flags outside of the city building at 300 Dufferin Ave. have been lowered to half-staff and will remain that way until sunset the day of her funeral.
Britain's longest serving Monarch died, surrounded by family, at Balmoral Castle in Scotland on Thursday. She was 96. Over her 70 years on the throne she visited Canada 22 times, making four stops in London.
"Her love for Canada was profound, and our city experienced that affection firsthand on four separate occasions during Her Majesty’s visits to London. For many of us, she has come to represent steadfast service and constancy, particularly during more turbulent and uncertain times," London Mayor Ed Holder said in a statement. "Elizabeth served as our Queen for a remarkable 70 years, doing so with grace and honour. We will cherish her reign for eternity."
The Queen visited the city in 1951, 1953, 1973, and 1997.
Her passing has set off a 10-day mourning period in the U.K. and brought tributes from around the world. It also launched a new era with a king.
Prince Charles automatically became King Charles III when his mother died. He is expected to address the public Friday. While he did issue a statement Thursday, he held off making public comment in order to grieve privately. His first full day as King will include a meeting with British Prime Minister Liz Truss.
