Hungry Brits have been spotted queuing around the block as both McDonald's restaurants and supermarkets reopened following the Queen's funeral.
It comes after the fast food giant shut more than 1,300 restaurants for 17 hours today as a mark of respect.
But they all reopened, alongside many supermarkets around the country, at 5pm much to delight of some starving members of the public.
Scores of cars were seen waiting outside a McDonald's branch in Bury, Greater Manchester, when the store finally reopened, M.E.N. reports.
As the clock struck 5pm, a member of staff at the Woodfields Retail Park branch removed a series of orange traffic cones to allow customers to enter the car park.
McDonald's was one of many retailers that decided to close its doors today after a bank holiday was declared across the UK.
Businesses were not officially required to close but many chose to shut their doors as a mark of respect to the late Queen.
Announcing its plans to shut during the Queen's funeral, a McDonald's spokesperson said: "In honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and to enable everyone at McDonald's to pay their respects, our restaurants across the UK will be closed from midnight until 5pm on Monday, 19th September."
Many of the country's biggest supermarkets, including Aldi, Lidl and Tesco decided to shut for the day, while Asda announced it would reopen at 5pm.
And minutes after the chain reopened it was packed with shoppers looking for some groceries, Hull Live reports.
One shopper, who was shocked at the scenes, said: "The queues are stretching way back down the aisles.
"The bread and cereal aisles are emptying quickly."
Pancakes were out of stock and some customers were seen buying multiple crates of bottled water.
One item Asda customers were also searching for was the Queen's favourite drink - a cocktail of Dubonnet and gin.
It was easy for them to get their hands on some gin, while the Dubonnet wasn't stocked.
