    1. It's not a "four-day holiday" though, is it? Because two of those days are on the weekend and one is the regular late May bank holiday. So it's one extra day off (for the majority of workers doing regular weekday work patterns).

    So, yes, it's four consecutive days off (again for workers doing regular weekday work patterns) but it's a bit rich to say that Buckingham Palace is "announc[ing]" it when three of those days are days off we'd get any other year.

      Anyway, it's gratifying that when you actually click on this trending topic, you get this article on how Buckingham Palace banned non-white workers from office roles and continue to be 'exempt' from race and sex discrimination laws. @guardian/1400075848674426880
