The province of Nova Scotia will be hosting a multi-faith memorial service for Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Monday.

It will be held at the Cathedral Church of All Saints on Cathedral Lane near Victoria Park in Halifax.

Premier Tim Houston will give a tribute to the late Queen and Lt.-Gov. Arthur J. LeBlanc will deliver a eulogy.

It will be open to the public and those attending are asked to be in their seats by 1:30 p.m. for the 2 p.m. service.

Those who can't make it in person can watch a livestream through Facebook or YouTube.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced the day of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral will be a federal holiday and a national day of mourning.

The Monday holiday will be for federal employees and those in federally regulated industries, but it will be up to provincial and territorial governments to declare if it will be a day off for the remaining workers.

The Queen and her late husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh visited Nova Scotia in 1951, 1959, 1976, 1994 and 2010.

The Nova Scotia Archives has a virtual exhibit of digitized photographs, documents and tour memorabilia that you can find here.
