This week the UK will enjoy a four-day bank holiday weekend to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee. The event is to mark the Queen's 70 years on the throne.
The unprecedented anniversary, which is actually the first time a British monarch has reached a Platinum Jubilee on the throne, has caused a reshuffle in this year's bank holiday dates.
The late May bank holiday, which is referred to as the spring bank holiday and often takes place on the last Monday of the month, has been moved to Thursday, June 2. Meanwhile, we've all been given an extra day off on Friday, June 3 for the Platinum Jubilee.
