The traditional ceremonies took place including in Hereford, Leominster, Ludlow and Shrewsbury.
A large crowd gathered in Leominster's Corn Square to hear the proclamation read by the town's mayor.
Sheds housing nearly 200,000 broiler chickens at a Herefordshire farm are to be demolished and rebuilt to a higher standard.
