A PUB sold bargain-price pints today in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.

The boozer offered 6p pints between 10am to 11am, in memory of the monarch who died yesterday.

The price reflects the average price of a pint in 1952, the year The Queen succeeded the throne.

Punters praised the Entwistle Hotel, in Darwen, Lancashire, for the decision.

In a statement to the Lancashire Telegraph, the pub said: “In honour of Her Majesty the Queen and her passing yesterday we have decided to sell all pints for 6p which was the price when Elizabeth ascended the throne in 1952.

“We are a community local and we want to let our loyal customers celebrate her life with a pint and toast her majesty for 6p.”

Since customer said the move was a “lovely gesture” while another said: “Let’s hope folk don't get too greedy for your gesture.”

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, died at Balmoral aged 96, after reigning for 70 years.

She died peacefully in the afternoon at her Scottish estate, where she had spent much of the summer.

The Queen came to the throne in 1952 and witnessed enormous social change.

Her son King Charles III said the death of his beloved mother was a "moment of great sadness" for him and his family and that her loss would be "deeply felt" around the world.
