Edinburgh florist defends herself against calls to close for Queen’s funeral

An Edinburgh florist says she is defiant to continue to deliver for her customers on Monday’s bank holiday despite being told that she should close for the Queen’s funeral.

Nikki Boyd who runs Nikki’s Fleurs on Wolseley Place, says she has received messages from locals who have told her she should be closing her business on Monday, September 19 to pay respect to the Queen.

But the 42-year-old has refused to give into the pressure, stating she has to deliver for her customers as she has several funerals taking place in Edinburgh on both Monday 19 and Tuesday 20.
