Britons to get extra bank holiday on King Charles III Coronation

King Charles III Coronation will take place on Saturday 6 May, 2022 at Westminster Abbey.

The new monarch has announced an extra bank holiday for Monday 8 May, giving the families a chance to "come together and celebrate" the event.

Buckingham Palace, announcing the exciting news, stated that the event will "reflect the Monarch's role today and look towards the future".
