The bells at the cathedral, where Tutu urged South Africans of all races to work together against apartheid, will toll for 10 minutes at noon for five days to mark Tutu's life.
"We ask all who hear the bells to pause their busy schedules for a moment in tribute to Archbishop Tutu," said the current Archbishop of Cape Town, Thabo Makgoba.
South Africans are laying flowers at the cathedral, in front of Tutu's home in Cape Town's Milnerton area, and in front of his former home in Soweto.
