The UK has an average of eight public holidays a year. This year has been an exception, with Bank Holidays added to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee as well as her funeral last month.
With King Charles III's Coronation date being announced as May 6, it remains to be seen whether there will be a Bank Holiday to mark the occasion. In 1953, when Queen Elizabeth II was crowned, June 2 was named 'Coronation Day' and a Bank Holiday was declared, our colleagues over at Hull Live report.
The Palace has yet to announce whether there will be a Bank Holiday for the King's Coronation. The next Bank Holiday will be on Monday, December 26 - Boxing Day. That's because the Bank Holiday for Christmas Day, which falls on a Sunday this year, is moving to Tuesday, December 27.
