As the nation looks towards the Queen’s state funeral on Monday September 19 there will be serious disruption to services in Scotland’s capital as organisations and businesses close as a mark of respect.
The Queen passed away on Thursday 8 and her funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey next Monday. A bank holiday was declared for the event and in Scotland the 19 was already set as a bank holiday, meaning that services would be running at a reduced capacity or not at all.
Following the news that the funeral would take place, several businesses, organisations and charities have stated that they will refrain from opening their doors next week in order to allow staff to pay their respects.
