Several major UK ecommerce businesses and delivery firms have announced that they will be ceasing deliveries on Monday 19 September as a mark of respect for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, which has now been declared a bank holiday.
The government has said that, during the national mourning period, there is “no obligation to suspend business.”
It added that some businesses “may wish to consider closing or postponing events, especially on the day of the state funeral”, but added that this would be “at the discretion of individual businesses.”
