Cinemas to screen Queen's funeral for free on Monday with all films cancelled

The majority of cinemas will be closed on Monday but a select few are opening to screen the Queen's funeral for free.

The UK's largest cinema chains, Odeon and Cineworld, are closing for the whole day of September 19. However, around 150 sites have announced plans to show the state funeral free of charge, giving the public a chance to mourn collectively.

Vue, Curzon and Arc are all screening the proceedings. Vue, which has cinemas in Gateshead, Cramlington and Hartlepool, says its normal programming will be cancelled on Monday but it will be showing the funeral at select venues from 10am.
