A statement on Glasgow Cathedral's website read: "We have been advised that, according to protocol, no church will hold an official Service of Remembrance nor Thanksgiving for the life of Her Majesty, until some time following the funeral service in Westminster Abbey on September 19.
"We will advise you here when such a service will take place in Glasgow Cathedral."
It went on to say that some churches have decided to provide a live public screening of the funeral service on Monday, but unfortunately, the cathedral does not have the facilities to do so.
