Queen's funeral leaves Glasgow city centre deserted as mourners stay home to pay respects

Glaswegians decided to watch the Queen’s funeral from the comfort of their own homes this morning. With no public screenings in the city, the centre was almost deserted as events took place in London.

The Vue cinema in the St Enoch Centre, where the ceremony was being shown, was very quiet with just a trickle of customers using the tickets they had booked in advance.

Monterey Jack's, in the Merchant City, was showing the funeral on a big screen but there were no customers. Apart from the security guard and the staff the only people around were a confused Canadian couple, from Quebec.
