Extra Bank Holiday announced for King Charles III coronation

There'll be an extra Bank Holiday next year to mark the coronation of King Charles III.

Downing Street said the holiday will fall on Monday, May 8 following the coronation at Westminster Abbey two days earlier on Saturday May 6. It will take place across the UK.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said – as was the case with the coronation of Queen Elizabeth in 1953 – it will be an opportunity for families and communities across the country to come together to celebrate.
