Monday, 19 September was approved as a Bank Holiday on Saturday (10 September) by King Charles III.

A spokesman for Harrods told Drapers: "Harrods stands with the entire nation in grief on the passing of Her Majesty the Queen.

"Her Majesty stood as a symbol of Britain, bringing comfort, leadership and steadfastness to millions over her 70 year reign. On behalf of Harrods and our employees, we send our deepest condolences to the Royal Family and are united in remembrance of Her Majesty and her life dedicated to public service.

"We will continue to commemorate the life of Her Majesty the Queen and pay our respects by closing the store on the day of the State Funeral."

Earlier this year, the luxury department store released special edition shopping bags commemorating the Queen's 70-year Platinum Jubilee.

It is not yet known whether H Beauty and Harrods Outlet will also close.
