Go to Settings → Apple ID → Name, Phone Numbers, Email
Tap Edit and select Add email or phone number. Add your new phone number and delete the old one. Then, restart your iPhone.
Go to Settings → Messages → Send & Receive.
Check if your new number is registered, if not - try turning off iMessages, wait a bit and turn it back on. After a short time, iMessages should be ready and your new number should be registered.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Your solution worked for me and the new number was automatically registered in Messages. Many thanks.
You're welcome.
