The bar posted its plans on social media, and said: "As a sign of respect and honour to Queen Elizabeth II we will be selling our pints at 6p between 14.22 - 14.44. The reason we will be selling our pints at 6p is because the day HRH Queen Elizabeth II was coronated all pints were only 6p.
"We will also be holding 2 minutes silence and showing the funeral on all of our TVs. RIP Queen Elizabeth II."
Customers made light of the generous gesture on the bar's social media page, with one man quipping: "Lovely gesture. Can I reserve 14 pints please. Another said: "Raiding my piggy bank."
