Department store John Lewis, supermarkets Waitrose, Aldi and Sainbury's and DIY store B&Q are among those which have announced that they will close in Wales for the Queen's funeral. The companies have said they are closing their stores to show their respect.

The Queen's funeral will take place on Monday, September 19, and the date has been made a public bank holiday. This means many businesses and shops can choose to close to mourn the loss of the Queen. Some entertainment venues such as cinemas and fast food restaurants will also be closed. You can keep up to date with the latest What's On news by signing up to the newsletter here.
