The Facebook event is encouraging people to join a nationwide applause at 7pm tonight to mark the passing of the Queen.

The event has been inspired by the pandemic's Clap for Carers, which saw millions of people stand on the doorsteps once a week to applaud frontline workers and the NHS.

Over 42,000 people had committed to the event by 11am, with 111,300 registering their interest.

Tonight's proposed event is being organised online by Nicky Davis who has said people can join in from their front door or wherever they may be.

On the post Nicky wrote: "Let everybody know we loved our Queen and join on Monday at 7pm.

"Clap those hands at your front door, back door or wherever you may be."

The event is public and can be found at facebook.com/events/769166957702611
