While some businesses closed their doors today, others decided to stay open to allow mourners to support each other as they watched Queen Elizabeth II be laid to rest. Billions of people said their final goodbyes to the longest-serving monarch from the streets of London to their living rooms at home, as well as in cinemas and pubs across the nation.
To mark the historic moment, we joined the many Brits who didn't want to be alone on such a sombre day, by watching the funeral in the pub. The Queen's Head in Bristol is usually shut on a Monday, but today it opened for a few hours so a small group of regular punters - or non-biological family as they called themselves - could grieve together and commemorate the day.
Elsewhere, people gathered at The Royal British Legion in Healing, Grimsby, to watch the historic moment while surrounded by ex-servicemen, their families and other mourners. Only serving soft drinks - such as cups of tea and coffee - until the service came to an end, the Legion honoured the late Queen with a toast of port before opening the bar to celebrate her life with alcoholic drinks and chat about her fruitful reign.
