Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II at Balmoral on Thursday (September 8) many have paid tribute to the late monarch often quoted as being a "constant" throughout their lives.
Shops and other businesses throughout the UK have also been sending their condolences to the Royal Family following her passing.
Many retailers, both local and chains, have decided to observe reduced hours or shut completely for the full day on the Queen's funeral to allow staff to pay their respects.
