The formal Proclamation of the Queen's eldest son, Charles, as King will be announced tomorrow in London.
In line with the Devolved Administrations and other Crown Dependencies, the Proclamation in Jersey will be taking place at midday the following day, 11 September, in the Royal Square.
It will begin with a Special Sitting of the States Assembly to receive the Proclamation, read by the Bailiff.
The public Proclamation ceremony in the Royal Square will be taking place at 12:30.
This will be led by the Bailiff, with members of the States Assembly, members of the Royal Court, senior Civil Servants, members of the Blue Light and Home Affairs departments, Veterans of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces and uniformed cadet organisations all in attendance.
That Proclamation will then be officially registered in the Royal Court at 12:50.
At the same time, there'll be a 21-gun salute on the Glacis Field.
At 13:00, flags will return to half-mast.
Yes - there are several options to watch the ceremony live, both on social media and at Parish Halls, for those who can't get to town.

The Parish of St. Helier has confirmed there will be several road closures and diversions between 11:00 to around 13:15 for the ceremony, managed by the Honorary Police Force.
Mulcaster Street will be closed at the junction with Hill Street and vehicles will need to go into La Motte Street.
Halkett Place will be closed at the Junction of Waterloo Street, and traffic will need to go into Waterloo Street and then Don Street.
