Calls grow for permanent Bank Holiday in lasting tribute to Queen Elizabeth II

People across Britain are calling for the UK to have an extra Bank Holiday every year in tribute to the Queen.

Her Majesty died aged 96 on September 8. Her funeral is due to take place on Monday, September 19 - a day which her son - King, Charles III - has declared as a one-off Bank Holiday to allow the nation to mourn.

Now, a campaign has been launched calling for a permanent Bank Holiday to be introduced in memory of Queen Elizabeth II. Tens of thousands of people have signed to say they think the day the Queen died (September 8) should become an annual Bank Holiday as a lasting tribute to Britain's longest reigning monarch.
