Britons will get an extra day off next year thanks to the King's coronation.

Just was the case for the Queen's coronation back in 1953, a bank holiday will give people across the country an opportunity to come together to celebrate.

It will fall in all four nations of the UK on Monday 8 May, following the coronation on Saturday 6 May.

The coronation will be held at Westminster Abbey, conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.
