A menswear retailer has admitted opening his doors to funeralgoers despite Covid-19 restrictions, saying he does not want to add to his customers’ “misery”.

Patrick Bourke, the third-generation owner of Patrick Bourke Menswear, said he made the decision because he was being driven “demented” by the coronavirus restrictions and did not want to “let people down” who were in need.
