The funeral of Ian Paisley, the former Democratic Unionist Party leader and first minister of Northern Ireland, will take place later.
He will be buried in County Down, following a private funeral service at his family home in east Belfast.
Mr Paisley, who stepped down from politics in 2008, passed away on Friday, aged 88.
As a mark of respect, tributes will be paid by MLAs in the Northern Ireland Assembly at noon.
Assembly business will be suspended following the tributes.
MLAs will also sign a book of condolence in the Great Hall - members of the public are also invited to do so.
A book of condolence will also open at Belfast City Hall on Monday - several were opened in towns and cities in Northern Ireland on Saturday.
All DUP constituency offices will be closed on Monday.
Mr Paisley moved from a political "never man" to Northern Ireland's first minister.
He ended up leading a power-sharing executive at Stormont - although he had supported the strike to bring one down 30 years earlier.
Mr Paisley was a founder of the Free Presbyterian Church in 1951 after a split with the Presbyterian Church - he resigned as as moderator of the Free Presbyterian Church in 2008.
In 2011, he told the congregation at Martyrs Memorial Free Presbyterian Church in south Belfast that he was stepping down from ministry.
