ISLANDERS have been granted an additional bank holiday in May to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III.

The States Assembly agreed that Monday 8 May will be marked as an official public holiday to commemorate the Coronation, which is due to take place two days earlier.

The move means that Islanders will have an extended four-day weekend, as Liberation Day will follow on Tuesday 9 May. The proposition to grant the bank holiday was adopted by the Assembly via a standing vote.
