Are shops open on Monday including stores such as Primark, Argos, B&M, Home Bargains and B&Q?

Monday has been declared a national bank holiday to mark Queen Elizabeth II's funeral. The monarch will be laid to rest on September 19 at Westminster Abbey in London.

It's thought to be the largest international event put on in the UK for decades, with 2,000 people in attendance and billions worldwide expected to tune in for the proceedings. World leaders and foreign royals will be among those attending the service in the capital.

Huge crowds are expected outside Westminster Abbey during the service. It will also be broadcast live on huge screens in locations across the country, as well as on the BBC, ITV and Sky.
