As I announced on 23 November 2000, Monday 3 June will be an additional Bank Holiday for the Golden Jubilee and Tuesday 4 June will be a Bank Holiday, in place of the Spring Bank Holiday that would otherwise fall on 27 May 2002.This significant national anniversary of 50 years of The Queen's reign will offer people of all ages and cultures and from all walks of life the opportunity for celebration, and the events surrounding the Jubilee will provide numerous opportunities for voluntary and community service.
