McDonald's has shared that it will be shutting all of its UK venues for most of the day on Monday when the Queen's funeral will take place.
The funeral is scheduled for Monday, September 19, which has been declared a bank holiday.
Shops and businesses have the choice to close or be open for reduced hours on the day, whilst banks would be shut.
McDonald's has decided that all of its UK venues will be shut on Monday, from midnight until 5pm.
This will include the two restaurants in Hereford, in Commercial Street and Belmont Road.
All of our UK restaurants will be closed on Monday until 5pm, to allow everyone at McDonald’s to pay their respects to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
