The Post Office handled £156m in cash over the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend, as it continued to provide access for free.

The company revealed last week deposits increased from £20m on 3 June to £66m on 4 June.

In May, postmasters handled a record £3.23bn in cash, the third successive month where more than £3bn has been deposited and withdrawn in a single month. Banking director Martin Kearsley said the figures demonstrate “just how vital being able to deposit and withdraw cash, securely and conveniently, is for millions of people”.
