Good morning Grace. The team are carefully removing the tributes from the Holocaust Memorial and laying them with the others in the official floral tribute area.
Following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II we set up dedicated gardens where people could leave floral tributes to The Queen 💐
In the weeks that followed hundreds of thousands of people visited, creating a poignant carpet of flowers.
