A bank holiday for the funeral of the Queen on September 19 has been declared by King Charles, raising questions about how the day off will work for people across the UK.
As the country entered a period of mourning, the bank holiday remained unconfirmed. Then, on Saturday, the new monarch approved the bank holiday during the Accession Council.
The UK Government has since issued guidance about how the day will affect workers. Millions of people could be off work, but the advice warns Brits it is up to employers to give people the day off.
