People have been queuing to get into McDonald's as the fast-food giant prepares to close due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Cars were waiting at the entrance to the Great Western Way store after the restaurant closed off its seating areas and went take-away only. 

The traffic was starting to tail up past TK Maxx and towards the Cockleberry Roundabout.

The McDonald's store in the town centre has already closed to customers. 

The second McDonald's on Great Western Way in Bridgemead is also seeing long queues. 

Kevin Gulliver was travelling in the opposite direction and took this picture.

Kevin added: "Absolutely disgusting behaviour from these people, people are dying and all they can think about is getting their last Big Mac."

All UK and Ireland stores will close tonight at 7pm as the company steps up its response to the coronavirus. 

It had previously closed off all seating areas and suspended the annual Monopoly promotion.
