The late May bank holiday weekend, often referred to as the spring bank holiday, has been moved to Thursday, June 2 and an additional one has been added on Friday, June 3. The reshuffle is for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and will see the UK get a four-day weekend.
The momentous occasion marks 70 years since Her Majesty's accession. The Queen, now 96 years old, is officially the world's longest-serving monarch. You can find out more about her reign here.
To celebrate the unprecedented anniversary, many of us will be attending public events or street parties over the four-day weekend, but for those who have to run a last-minute errand, such as waiting for post or delivering a parcel, it's worth knowing what to expect.
