A foodbank has come under fire for announcing its impending closure for the Queen's funeral.
The majority of stores and food chains across the country will be shut on Monday, September 19, as the country pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II following her death last week. People have queued for miles to respectfully visit Queen Elizabeth's coffin ahead of the ceremony on Monday, with a national Bank Holiday also being introduced.
The funeral will begin at 11am with the likes of Sainsbury's, Asda and McDonald's all shutting stores and restaurants up and down the UK for the day. Despite the nationwide closures, one foodbank in Merseyside has caused a stir by confirming that it will be shut for the day.
