BOSTON - A museum in Boston is honoring Queen Elizabeth II on Friday, one day after her death.

The JFK Library is inviting people to sign a condolence book in honor of the late monarch. 

"It's touching and moving that you guys take it seriously, so thank you," Elizabeth Orcutt, who is visiting Boston from England, told WBZ-TV.

The library also shared a gift from the queen to former President John F. Kennedy - a signed photo gifted during the president's visit to Buckingham Palace in 1961.
