Easter has been and gone, but there are more bank holidays around the corner, including another four-day weekend that includes a Friday off.
There is a shake-up to England's usual bank holidays, with just one in May this year, at the beginning of the month. The late May bank holiday has been moved to the first Thursday in June, with another bank holiday added a day later to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, creating a four-day weekend.
Usually, there are bank holidays in the first and last Mondays in May, but that was changed for the celebrations to mark Queen Elizabeth II's 70 years on the throne.

When is the next bank holiday in May 2022?
The next bank holiday in 2022 is on Monday May 2. The early May, or 'May Day', bank holiday has been part of the calendar since 1978.
When is the four-day jubilee bank holiday and why is there a bank holiday Thursday?
There is no "late May" bank holiday in 2022. Instead, the day off, which is usually a Monday, has been moved to Thursday June 2. An extra bank holiday has been added to the calendar on Friday June 3 to celebrate the Queen's Platinium Jubilee. It means those who do not work bank holidays or weekends will get four days off in a row: Thursday June 2, Friday June 3, Saturday June 4 and Sunday June 5
Pub opening hours have been extended to mark the occasion, while a pop concert will take place at Buckingham Palace and a carnival on the streets of London.
