The Queen marked 70 years since her accession this year and will celebrate the momentous occasion with a four-day festive event. Called the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, the celebration will see the UK enjoy an extra bank holiday.
And to make it happen, things have been moved about this year. It means in 2022 the spring bank holiday, which usually takes place in late May, has been moved to June. It will be followed by an extra day off to mark the Queen's unprecedented anniversary.
It means the next bank holiday in the calendar is the spring date which now falls on Thursday, June 2 . The Platinum Jubilee, meanwhile, is being celebrated on Friday, June 3 .
