The adviser websites have been marking the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the succession of Charles III.
Money Marketing quotes the tributes from the professional and trade bodies and well as from individual advisers with all the websites including New Model Adviser doing likewise.
These include the Chartered Insurance Institute with the Queen being the Royal Patron of the adviser body.
In a statement it said: “The Queen was inspirational in the way she lived a life of remarkable, dedicated public service. Our thoughts are with the royal family at this difficult time.
“The Queen played a key role in the Institute’s development in 1987, when she updated the Royal Charter, which requires us to ‘secure and justify the confidence of the public’.
Some activities are being delayed – including the next meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee at the Bank of England which is delayed a week until 12pm on 22 September.
The Guardian reports on other closures with the stock market likely shutting on the day of the funeral.
Lloyd’s of London rang the Lutine bell once on Thursday evening to honour the Queen’s death, just after it was announced by Buckingham Palace. The bell used to be rung on the arrival of news of an overdue ship, once for the vessel’s loss and twice for its return, but more recently it has been rung to mark special occasions.
