September 2nd 2023.
As we approach the one year anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, it is undeniable that the world lost an incredible, iconic figure. She was more than just a monarch, she was THE Queen. She was a symbol of unity for generations all around the globe, and her passing on September 8, 2022, was felt throughout the world.
Her state funeral was watched by millions and many will remember her as we approach the anniversary of her death. But, will it be marked as a bank holiday? Unfortuantely, the answer is no. Despite a Change.Org petition that has over 159,000 signatures arguing for a new bank holiday, it doesn't appear that one will be approved any time soon.
The closest we got was a one-off bank holiday on September 19, 2022 for the Queen's State Funeral. This was similar to the extra bank holiday that the nation enjoyed on May 8 this year for the Coronation of King Charles. The King is expected to remember his late mother in private, so if you’re feeling sad and want to remember the late monarch, you’ll have to remember her ‘privately and quietly.’
The world may never forget Queen Elizabeth II, and her legacy will live on for generations to come.
