Full list of bank holidays left in 2024 as new public holiday declared
We are now half way through 2024, but there are a number of bank holidays still yet to come. And on the island of Jersey, a new public holiday has been declared in celebration of a royal visit.
King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to arrive in Jersey on July 15. The holiday is estimated to cost taxpayers in Jersey around £700,000 in wages, for people to cover civil servants taking the day off.
Jersey is a self-governing island and it is separate from the UK in many respects. This means that people living on British mainland will not get the same holiday, The Liverpool Echo reports.
