MORRISONS has become the latest shop to announce it will close all of its branches for the Queen’s funeral.

The Bradford-based supermarket tweeted all of its supermarkets will be closed on Monday, September 19.

However, the chain’s petrol stations will re-open at 5pm on the day of Her Majesty’s funeral.

 

Morrisons tweeted: “All our supermarkets will be closed on Monday, September 19 as a mark of respect and so colleagues can pay tribute to Her Majesty.

“At 5pm our petrol filling stations will reopen.”

Marks & Spencer and Asda have become the latest retailers to confirm they will shut stores next Monday for the Queen's funeral.

It comes after a raft of supermarkets and high street chains already confirmed closure plans for the day.

Asda said it will shut all its stores until 5pm on the day to allow employees to watch the funeral.

An Asda spokesman said: "As a mark of respect for Her Majesty The Queen, all Asda stores will be closed on Monday September 19 until 5pm to allow our customers and colleagues to recognise the passing of our late monarch and commemorate her steadfast service to our nation.

"All our stores will close by midnight on Sunday, September 18 and reopen at 5pm on Monday, September 19.”
