Retailers Liberty, French Connection and Selfridges closed their stores on Friday following the death of the Queen. It came as tributes from industry poured in after confirmation of her death on Thursday afternoon.
Historic London department store Liberty was among the first to confirm it will not open on Friday. The Soho-based retailer said: “Our heartfelt sympathy and thoughts are with the royal family at this sad time.
“As a mark of respect, the Liberty store will be closed until Saturday September 10 at 10am while we join the country in mourning.”
