Roundup of opening times at Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Aldi and all the major supermarkets.
Shoppers should prepare for supermarkets to be closed or running limited hours on the day of the Queen’s funeral.
As a mark of respect, Tesco Asda, Sainsbury’s, Aldi, Morrisons and Lidl have all confirmed they will not be operating normal shopping hours, with many not opening their doors at all.
Here’s a roundup of the major supermarket’s plans for the Queen’s funeral Bank Holiday Monday.
Note: a number of supermarkets have said they may open small stores that are on the funeral route. However, as this won’t be of use to the vast majority of households we’ve left it out of the individual descriptions below.
