After sitting on the throne for 70 years, the late monarch passed away on Thursday, September 8. The UK has officially entered a period of mourning, and advice on how to live over the coming weeks has been released for both individuals and businesses.
Travel
Except for the day of her funeral, which will be held at a future date, travel services will run as usual.
Operators are not required to alter services during the period of mourning, according to the advisory, “but there may be some modifications to service availability.”
Significant occasions, public areas, and galleries
However, on the day of the funeral, it advises: “As a mark of respect, organisations might wish to consider cancelling or postponing events or closing venues on the day of the State Funeral.
“They are under no obligation to do so and this is entirely at the discretion of individual organisations.
“As a mark of respect, and in keeping with the tone of National Mourning, organisers may wish to hold a period of silence and/or play the National Anthem at the start of events or sporting fixtures”.
