What food banks across Scotland will be open on Queen's funeral bank holiday and how to get help

The Queen's funeral next Monday has been designated as a bank holiday, which has prompted many businesses to close their doors as a mark of respect to the late monarch.

This includes dozens of food banks across Scotland, with many choosing to close their centres and warehouses to allow staff members to pay tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The Trussell Trust - which oversees 45 operators and 118 centres distributing groceries - confirmed some food banks could close. According to Third Force News (TFN), at least 17 operators - responsible for running 48 food banks - are expected not to open on the day of the funeral.
