A spokesperson has said there are “no plans” for a Bank Holiday when it takes place next Spring, something that’s been met with many a people’s disappointment.

Sadly, neither is a Bank Holiday scheduled in for the birth of the Royal baby which is also happening around the same time.
Here’s the excitement that had sprung up about a potential day off…
