Schools in East Renfrewshire will be closed on Monday as “a mark of respect” on the day of the Queen’s funeral.
East Renfrewshire Council has confirmed schools, nurseries and family centres will shut on September 19, which is a bank holiday.
It comes after the UK’s longest serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, passed away on Thursday. Her funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey on Monday, with her coffin set to be moved from St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh to London later today.
