Extra bank holiday 2022

On Monday 19th September, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s State Funeral will be a national bank holiday.

The extra bank holiday applies in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland and will allow businesses to pay their respects to Her Majesty and commemorate Her reign, while marking the final day of the period of national mourning.

The same principles apply as they did for the extra bank holiday for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June and you can read more about the preparations you need to make in our blog post on preparing effectively for bank holidays in line with your staff's entitlement.
