Favourites at McDonald'swill be less than £1 today in celebration of the easing of restrictions across England.
It marks the relaxation of rules and legal restrictions in England, as regulations around social distancing, mask-wearing and mass gatherings all come to an end on July 19.
The offer includes their popular Big Mac and breakfast McMuffins, both of which are priced at 99p for one day only.
Throughout the day on July 19, McDonald's will make these items available at a reduced price to customers using its app.
From 11 am, the Big Mac will be available for just 99p to customers dining inside McDonald's restaurant.
The iconic burger - which consists of two 1.6oz beef patties, a 'special sauce' variant on Thousand Island dressing, iceberg lettuce, American cheese, gherkins and onions and comes serve in a three-part sesame seed bun - is one of the menu staples at McDonald's.
Usually priced at £.49, today's deal will save customers £2.50 on their lunch and/or dinner.
The Golden Arches had also made their popular McMuffin breakfasts - including their Bacon and Egg, Egg and Cheese or Sausage and Egg McMuffin - available for 99p up until 11am this morning.
The fast-food chain has also revealed a new 20% discount for NHS staff earlier this month.
That discount comes into place today, with NHS now able to claim a saving on their meals to mark "freedom day". They can use the discount once a week, in store only - it is not available on delivery services.
This NHS offer must also be claimed using the McDonald's app, which is available for both IOS and Android users via the Apple or Google Play stores.
NHS staff will be identified for the discount through the email address they used to sign up with.

Leeds pizza shop hailed ‘exceptional’ and ‘best in the UK’ by major reviewer
A Leeds pizza takeaway has received a glowing review from popular review duo.
Edges Pizza opened up their first permanent spot in Leeds back in June this year, after making a name for themselves slinging out pizzas at multiple pop-ups across the city.
Owners Grace and Edge from Harrogate opened Edges Pizza two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.

Their pizzas are a love letter to the class New York slice, think thin and crispy rather than chewy and floppy. But above all else, think absolutely delicious.
And now, they've caught the attention of a major review page, with Bite Twice Food Reviews (a page with almost 300k followers) paying Edges a visit.
The food review duo of Gerry del Guercio and Paul Delany popped up in Holbeck beneath the arches to get their hands on a pizza, and the outcome is brilliant.
In the video, Bite Twice said that the pizza is 'f**cking exceptional' and up there with 'one of the best pizzas in the UK'.
Before even taking a bite, they said: "On aesthetic, I don't think anywhere in the UK is doing pizza like this".

Then after the first bite, they go on to say: "There are very few pizzas in the UK that create this, I’m a little bit blown away".
As Londoners themselves, they go on to say that Edges is 'easily hitting with the best that we’ve got down south'.
And if that's not high praise enough, they sign off the video saying: "Leeds has got an absolute gem. I give this a stamp so hard my foot went through the pizza. Edges. Don Level."
Yorkshire-set Christmas film by Leeds director starring Richard E. Grant set to hit UK cinemas next month
Clementine Hall
A brand-new Christmas film is hitting cinemas nationwide next month - and it’s a proper Leeds success story.
Jack Spring directed his first feature film at just 19 years old and has spent the last decade carving out a career in independent film, as well as co-founding Leeds-based production company Shush Films.
His first movie, Destination: Dewsbury, was shot just down the road in - you guessed it - Dewsbury. And after moving to Leeds from Grimsby, Jack became determined to build his business from the city, putting down roots and growing his production company here.

Now, after years of working on independent projects, Jack has taken his biggest leap yet with a brand-new Christmas film, Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint.
Set in Yorkshire, Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint follows Aubrey Flint, a reclusive model soldier painter with a lifelong hatred of Christmas, who is sentenced to community service at Willow Lodge - a retirement home on the brink of closure.
Roped into helping with a chaotic production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Aubrey clashes with its interesting set of residents...
And the cast is about as star-studded as it gets, featuring Richard E. Grant, John Bradley, Celia Imrie, Adjoa Andoh, Sophia Di Martino, Adrian Rawlins and Kiell Smith-Bynoe.

The heartwarming festive comedy will hit cinemas nationwide on Friday 6 November - a huge milestone for a Leeds-based director and production company, taking a homegrown Yorkshire story to audiences across the country.
You just can't beat a proper wholesome British Christmas film, so you can best believe we'll be watching in the cinema, popcorn in hand.
