Large parts of the country are set to grind to a halt on Monday as the nation observes the funeral of Queen Elizabeth.

There could be panic-buying scenes reminiscent of the Great Toilet Roll Plundering of 2020 with shops set to shut for the service at Westminster Abbey.

While many are keen to pay their respects - or just have a day off - the unexpected bank holiday will cause disruption for numerous households.t

Some will still have to travel for work, others will have to hastily arrange childcare and some families will be concerned over whether shops will be open on the day.

Here is what will be affected across Scotland as the royal funeral takes place.
