The stores will have a bucket collection, while sponsored staff members will wear pink in exchange for a small donation.

Checkouts and the front of the stores will also be decorated in pink to mark the occasion.

The funds go towards world-class research to help beat 200 types of the disease.

Oonagh Turnbull, head of health campaigns at Tesco, said: “Tesco Turns Pink is one of the highlights of the year in our stores. It will be slightly different this year because of coronavirus restrictions in place in our stores, but we know that the support of our customers and colleagues in raising vital funds for this great cause will be undeterred.”
