A number of supermarkets have announced that they will shut its stores next week to mark the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Aldi, and Morrisons are set to shut on Monday, September 19, when the late monarch's funeral will take place at 11am. A spokesperson for the John Lewis Partnership, which runs Waitrose and John Lewis, said both brands will shut their doors for the day, the Mirror reports.
The spokesperson added: "When full details of the funeral are confirmed, an exception may be a very limited number of Waitrose stores on the route of the funeral procession to serve members of the public who we know will be lining the route for many hours. These shops will, however, close for the funeral itself."
