Throughout the world, millions of people have been paying their respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The Queen, who was on the throne for over 70 years died on Thursday at the age of 96.

Since then, many people have been visiting and laying flowers at the various royal residences.

Most notably at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and Balmoral near Aberdeen where the Queen passed away.

Businesses have been doing their part to show their respect for the late sovereign including black signage, or even closing altogether.

However, one supermarket giant in the UK is paying its own mark of respect in a unique way.

Morrisons has confirmed the beeps on its checkouts have been turned down.

There had been reports that the beeps on its checkouts had been switched off altogether, but this was quickly ruled out by the supermarket.

But the reduction seems marginal, as customers using the self-service checkouts say they haven't even noticed the audible prompts from the machines being reduced in volume.

There are other ways in which people are paying their respects.

Over the weekend, the STEAM Museum of the Great Western Railway held a minute’s silence at 11am during the Railway Festival.

There are plans for a national minute’s silence which will be held on Sunday at 8pm.

The FA has also confirmed that football will resume this week, following the Queen’s passing.

Before kick-off, a minute’s silence will be held and the national anthem will be played.
