All Center Parcs villages will close on Monday 19 September to mark the Queen's funeral.

The holiday resort announced they would close all their locations as a mark of respect and to allow members of staff to be part of the historic day. The announcement comes as supermarket giants and other businesses have announced their plans to close or alter opening hours to mark the day.

Any guests whose booking is impacted by this decision will receive an email detailing their options. The locations will reopen on Tuesday 20 September to welcome guests.

Guests who are due to arrive on Monday have been asked not to travel to the location on Monday. Instead, they can arrive at their village from 10am on Tuesday. Guests who are staying over the weekend must depart by 10am on Monday.

For those who will be missing one day of their stay, they can continue with their booking and receive an automatic discount, or cancel their booking for a full refund. In a statement on their website, Center Parcs said: "We hope our guests will understand our decision to support our Queen on her final journey."

The announcement comes as various shops and businesses reveal plans to close for all or part of the day as a mark of respect for the Queen. Supermarket giant Aldi will close all its stores for the day, while Sainsbury's and Tesco will shut their large supermarkets for the day and close smaller locations until 5pm for the duration of the funeral.
