Whilst much of the country will want to watch the proceedings, others may want to do anything but.
Whether you deliberately want to avoid the event or merely want to take advantage of the extra bank holiday, there are still plenty of other things to spend your day doing.
Here are ten things to do in Lancashire on Monday, instead of watching the funeral:
9. Do some baking
An extra day off work is the perfect opporunity to finally get some home baking done. There are hundreds of recipes online, from easy ones to do with the kids to challenging ones that will impress everybody. Although you may have to do your ingredient shopping today! Photo: Annie Spratt on Unsplash
10. Do a home workout
Although Pure Gym and JD Gyms are closed between 10-2, and Total Fitness is shut all day, that doesn't mean you can't use your day off to work on your fitness. There are millions of fitness videos online which are free and easy to follow. Photo: Jonathan Borba on Unsplash
