Center Parcs (briefly) said it would shut for the Queen’s funeral – 23 funniest responses
Many businesses will close their doors and lots of events have been cancelled on the day of the Queen’s funeral next week.
Not all of the closures appeared to make sense, however, including Center Parcs, who said they would shut for 24 hours on Monday, meaning holiday makers would have to stay elsewhere or go home early.
Fortunately for all concerned they have now reversed their initial decision.
But they still won’t have any facilities open and apparently you might not be allowed outside, so don’t forget to take your board games.
Here’s exactly what people made of the whole thing on Twitter.

I am genuinely fascinated by the Center Parcs thing. Multiple people had to sign that off. Multiple people thought “yeah, this’ll be fine, PR-wise”. Astonishing.

Today Center Parcs announced a really stupid idea then after a public backlash did a massive U-turn. Who do they think they are – me?

Be amazing if Center Parcs were responsible for bringing down the monarchy, mind.

If Center Parcs is going to remain open during the Queen's funeral they'd better be insisting that patrons of subtropical swimming paradise wear black speedos.
