Mixed feelings about a one off public holiday to mark Queen Elizabeth II's death.
Monday, September 26 will be a public holiday, with a state memorial service held on the same day in Wellington.
Hospitality New Zealand CEO Julie White told Mike Hosking businesses will carry the cost, but the Queen's reign has to be recognised.

Restaurant Association President Mike Egan told Mike Hosking it's expensive to operate on a public holiday.
