The Bailiwick of Guernsey will observe a period of national mourning following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, it has been confirmed.
The Queen died peacefully on Thursday afternoon at Balmoral, aged 96.
Floral tributes can be laid at the Sunken Gardens and books of condolence will be opened at locations.
Lieutenant-Governor, Lieutenant General Richard Cripwell said the Queen's relationship with the islands had been particularly special.
He said: "She is the only Sovereign that most of us have ever known and the relationship between Her Majesty and the Crown Dependencies has been particularly special.
"At this saddest of times we should be thankful for the example she set and take comfort in the memory of her long and extraordinary life of service."
Bailiff Richard McMahon described the Queen as a "constant and reassuring presence while so much changed".
"Throughout, Her Majesty maintained a sense of hope and optimism rooted in faith and recognising there's much about which to be thankful."
Chief Minister Deputy Peter Ferbrache said the Queen had reigned "stoically, with dignity, with pride, and she's adopted changes".
There will be a special States meeting later to pay tribute to the Queen.
The period of national mourning will continue until the end of the day of the state funeral, the States said.
