Someone replied: "Free steak bakes all week?"

A second commented: "Will this affect sausage roll prices?"

A third pleaded: "Free sausage rolls to assist with the troubling and challenging time?

"Please do a memorial sausage roll," another asked.

Other followers of the Greggs account which bellows "long live sausage rolls" in its bio, simply thanked the chain for its mark of respect.
