Assistant Community Engagement Officer Danny Pearson said: "Understandably some people want to watch the Queen's funeral with others and share their grief, memories, and stories together.
"I've been talking with various faith groups, community centres and local leaders and our community has come together again and been able to provide locations where people can meet.
