Family holidays 'ruined' as Center Parcs to close all UK villages for Queen's funeral

Center Parcs has today confirmed it will close all of its UK villages for the Queen's funeral.

The company was hit with a wave of criticism after it was announced that all of its UK parks will close from 10am on Monday, September 19, for the Queen's state funeral. People are being told not to travel to Center Parcs on Monday, with all of its holiday villages remaining closed until the following day.

There are five Center Parcs sites across the UK, with the closest location to Liverpool being at Whinfell Forest in Cumbria. Thousands of families will have their holidays cut short by the closures, which many described as an "outrageous decision."
