Next year marks 80 years since the end of the Second World War, and the UK is set to get an extra bank holiday to celebrate the 'Greatest Generation'.
The UK is preparing to honour the 'Greatest Generation' with an extra bank holiday, commemorating 80 years since World War II's end.
An estimated 70,000 WW2 veterans remain, and the upcoming celebration presents a chance to pay tribute to their service. Veterans are backing the idea of an extended bank holiday eagerly. Marie reflected on the potential for additional bank holidays, saying: "An additional bank holiday would be an opportunity to thank all those wonderful people who made such a spectacular victory possible because, without them, the future could have been very dire indeed."
This prospective bonus time off would allow UK communities to honour these milestone anniversaries in a manner similar to the 2022 Platinum Jubilee.
