Pub sells pints for just 6p in honour of Queen Elizabeth, as nation mourns death of beloved monarch
A PUB flogged pints to mourning customers for just 6p in memory of late Queen Elizabeth II.
The boozer decided to offer drivers the deal in the first hour after they opened.
The Entwistle Hotel, in Darwen, Lancashire, sold the pints today at the same price they were the year Elizabeth II was coronated in 1952.
On Facebook, the pub wrote: "In honour of her majesty Queen Elizabeth who sadly passed this afternoon from 10am in the morning and for the 1st hour all pints will be 6p which was the price of a pint in 1952 when the Queen ascended to the throne."
Customers took to the comment section and one said: "Lets hope folk don't get too greedy for your gesture."
While another commented: "You need to use pre decimal currency."
