John Lewis and Homebase among shops closing for Queen's funeral
A bank holiday across the UK was approved by King Charles III for the day of his mother's funeral. All John Lewis department stores and Waitrose shops will be shut on the day, although a small number of Waitrose stores along the route of the funeral procession may remain open. Homebase said: "We join the country in mourning the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II and will be closing our stores on the day of her funeral, Monday 19 September." In a tweet, the department store said: "We will continue to commemorate the life of HM the Queen and pay our respects by closing the store on the day of the state funeral." A spokesperson told the BBC: "We anticipate that Fullers pubs will be opening on the day of the funeral to provide a place for people to come together and pay their respects."
