The King has approved an order that the day of the Queen's funeral will be a bank holiday.
The confirmation that the Queen’s funeral will be a national bank holiday means that millions of Brits could get the day off work. The government has announced this afternoon (Saturday) that Her Majesty’s funeral will be at 11am on Monday, September 19, and will be a bank holiday for the whole of the UK.
However, this doesn't automatically mean that you are entitled to time off work. New guidance from authorities confirms that each employer needs to make their own decision on whether or not they will give staff the day off.
