Royal Albert Dock shows its respect for Her late Majesty, The Queen

As heads of state are expected to begin to arrive in the UK on Friday 16th September for Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, for the first time in dock history the entire front of Royal Albert Dock Liverpool will be illuminated purple, including The Edward and Atlantic Pavilion and Martin Luther King Jr. Building. The waterfront will be lit from Friday 16th – Monday 19th September, as a mark of respect and tribute to The Queen.

Additionally, all of the fairy lights on the dock’s 86 columns are currently turned off until after the period of national mourning, a Union Flag is flying at half mast outside Holiday Inn Express and the Royal Albert Dock estate team are wearing black armbands.
