The park operator said on Tuesday (13 September) it would be closing its parks as a mark of respect to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who died last week, and to allow its employees to be part of the "historic moment".


However, the decision was met with an immediate backlash from guests, some of whom would have been required to leave their park part-way through their break.


In a statement, Center Parcs said guests would have to leave its five UK sites for 24 hours from 10am on Monday until 10am the following day.
