Downing Street announced the one minute silence as economists warn the mourning could tip the country into recession.
A minute of silence will be observed at 8pm on Sunday evening in remembrance of the Queen, ahead of the state funeral on Monday.
Number 10 said the silence could be marked “privately at home on your own or with friends and neighbours” as well as “out on your doorstep or street” or at local event spaces. Senior members of the family are expected to follow behind. Heads of state, prime ministers and presidents, European royals and key figures from public life will be invited to gather in the abbey, which can hold a congregation of 2,000.
