Asda shoppers queued around the entire store this evening as the shop reopened following the Queen's funeral. The supermarket giant along with others announced they would be closing from midnight on Sunday before reopening at 5pm on Monday after the state funeral.
And shortly after the shutters reopened, shoppers were caught instantly heading for the supermarket, with huge queues around the entire store in Manchester. Video footage shows a line of people with full trolleys queuing up for the checkout, with other trolleys abandoned in the aisles.
Other supermarkets, such as Sainsbury’s, previously announced that all its stores would be closed on the day of the funeral except for the convenience stores and petrol stations, which opened from 5pm to 10pm for essentials. All Morrisons stores closed, with just their petrol stations reopening at 5pm, with only Tesco Express stores opening from 5pm apart from a select few in London.
