Thousands of Dumfries and Galloway Council employees are expected to be granted a bonus day off work in May to mark the King’s coronation.
This will be the third additional day off in just 11 months following the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations on June 3 and then September 19 being marked as a national day of mourning for Her Majesty’s state funeral.
Both the UK and Scottish Governments have announced an additional bank holiday on Monday, May 8 in honour of King Charles on his coronation day.
