Monday, September 19, will be a bank holiday due to the Queen's state funeral, which takes place at Westminster Abbey in London. The UK is currently observing a national period of mourning following Queen Elizabeth II's death at the age of 96 on Thursday, September 8.
As a mark of respect, a number of retailers have announced that they will shut their doors for the day of the funeral. Primark was one of the first to confirm that all of its stores would close on the day.
The clothing giant said all 191 of its high street stores across the UK would be shut on Monday. Primark said its stores will reopen for normal hours the following day, Tuesday, September 20.
