2012 Bank Holiday Dates
2012 bank holiday dates include and extra special bank holiday so that we can celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee on Tuesday 5th June. This follows the Spring Bank Holiday on Monday 4th June.
The Queens Diamon Jubilee will therefore be the perfect time to take a holiday as you'll enjoy a nice long weekend off and for most of us will actually mean 4 days off without actually needing to book time off work. What better time to book a holiday !
