Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s State Funeral will be on Monday, 19 September and His Majesty’s Government has confirmed that the day will be a Bank Holiday.

The majority of Peterborough’s City Council Services will be closed including libraries, Household Recycling Centres, swimming pools, leisure centres and Child and Family Centres. All services will resume on Tuesday, 20 September.

There are some exceptions:

Registration Offices – Any pre-booked ceremonies will take place as arranged. All other appointments are being moved and the service will not be operating on that day.
