More than three-quarters (87 per cent) of those polled also said that receiving something free of charge would make a positive difference to their day, with more than half (59 per cent) saying they would be likely to pay forward this act of kindness to a friend or family member.

Jacob Cox, Bakery Manager at Morrisons, said: “Easter is a time to share and celebrate and we wanted to do something that would put a smile on customers’ faces.

"We know hot cross buns are a favourite at this time of year, which is why we’re giving away our traditional Market Street version for customers to enjoy on us.”
