Denise Welch has slammed the government’s decision to cancel all events – including charity events – in the lead up to the Queen’s state funeral next Monday
Loose Women star Denise Welch has hit out after an event she was involved in was cancelled after the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.
The TV star, 64, took to Twitter to rant about the UK’s decision to cancel and postpone all events following the death of the nation’s longest-running monarch on September 8.
Denise made it clear that she was fully against the idea that the world had to stop following the death of Queen Elizabeth, as the nation – and the world – continue to mourn her death at 96.
King Charles has approved an order to make next Monday a bank holiday in light of the late Queen’s state funeral.
Public and private events alike, including music concerts, have also been postponed in respect for the Queen and the extended Royal family – but Denise isn’t entirely on board with the idea.

Although the Loose Women star paid her respects to the Queen, calling her a ‘lady’ following her death, Denise has hit out at the ‘total insanity’ of the proceedings leading up to Her Majesty’s funeral.
Denise described the cancellations of all events as ‘total insanity’, and her opinion on the matter most definitely sparked some debates on Twitter.
The TV star sparked chaos when she tweeted: “My friend has been forced to cancel a small charity event I was involved in raising money for people struggling to feed their families in Manchester. Many months of preparation,” she explained.

“This is total insanity after the suffering of the last few years and I adored the Queen!!”
One follower agreed: “Charity events should NOT be cancelled for this. The Queen would have wanted people to raise these vital funds.”
“It’s one day, people should pay their respects,” another disagreed.
“I see why you’re mad but come on, she’s the Queen. Let her have her day,” someone else insisted.
Meanwhile, a fourth fumed: “Leaving people hungry in Manchester for the funeral of a 96-year-old woman? Nah.”
The Queen passed away on Thursday September 8
It comes after Denise hit out again last week after it was announced that all charity events would also be cancelled following the Queen’s death.
“Why on earth would cancelling the Great North Run be in memory of the Queen,” she tweeted.
“Imagine how many charities will suffer as a result? The Queen would NEVER want these events cancelled at this financially crippling time in peoples lives!!”
“Instead of cancelling events that take a year of blood, sweat and tears to organise, we should be celebrating the Queens AMAZING life & legacy AT these events!!!! Stop cancelling things.”
