What supermarkets and shops will be closed during the bank holiday to mark the Queen's funeral?
Several major supermarkets and retailers have announced they will temporarily close during the Queen's funeral on Monday 19 September.
The day will be a public bank holiday, King Charles III has announced.
While employers do not have to give staff a day off, many may choose to do so, and schools are expected to close.
In a statement, the government said the holiday "will be a unique national moment, and we would encourage employers to respond sensitively to requests from workers who wish to take time off."
"The government cannot interfere in existing contractual arrangements between employers and workers. However, we would expect that many workers will be able to take the day off on the bank holiday," it added.
A royal source told ITV News Royal Editor Chris Ship: “It is up to individual organisations to decide … balancing it with the need to cause minimum disruption to others. There have been no blanket instructions from the Royal Household for cancellations”.
Major retailers could also shut early, or stay closed on the day, with millions of people expected to watch the funeral procession and service in person, online or on television.
