Many shops and supermarkets will be closed on Monday, September 19, for a Bank Holiday to mark the Queen's funerals. The majority of retailers have already said they will close, including the likes of John Lewis and Primark, so staff can watch the funeral, due to start at 11am.
But some places will remain open or have altered their opening times to allow people to pick up some essential items, including some supermarkets, Liverpool Echo reports.

We’ve rounded up what to expect on bank holiday Monday as the nation mourns.
