Many of the UK’s cinemas will close on the day of the Queen’s state funeral – while others will remain open to screen the event for free, they have said.

Major chains including Cineworld, Odeon and Showcase will shut their sites on 19 September in a mark of respect. Smaller operators including The Light – which has movie theatres in locations such as Cambridge, Sheffield and Stockport – will also close their doors for the day.

Other cinema chains including Curzon and Arc have chosen to screen the funeral for free while cancelling the rest of their programming that day.

Arc said in a statement on Twitter: “We have decided to screen Her Majesty The Queen’s State Funeral on Bank Holiday Monday 19th September at 11 am. “This is a free event but pre-booking your seat is essential.There will be no other shows taking place while the funeral is broadcast.” The UK release of romantic comedy Ticket To Paradise, starring Hollywood A-listers George Clooney and Julia Roberts, has also been pushed back from 16 September until 20 September – the day after the funeral.
