A spokesperson for Stonegate Group said: "The passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is a momentous and sombre occasion. We send our deepest condolences to the Royal Family at this sad time. Our managed pubs, bars and venues remain open and, where possible, will show the funeral on Monday 19 September to honour her life and service."
The Stonegate group has pubs and restaurants across Merseyside, including the Brookhouse on Smithdown Road, The Albert Hotel on Lark Lane and many more. However, the group has yet to confirm which venues will be screening the Queen’s funeral on Monday. To find your local Stonegate pub click here.
A number of supermarkets and other major retailers have also confirmed they will keep their doors closed on Monday, including Aldi, Sainsbury’s, Primark, John Lewis and more. Businesses are not required to shut their doors on the day of the funeral, and others may choose to open for reduced hours, as many regularly do on other bank holidays.
The Government guidance is: "Some businesses may wish to consider closing or postponing events, especially on the day of the state funeral, however, this is at the discretion of individual businesses."
