There will be an additional bank holiday in June 2012 to mark the Queen's diamond jubilee. The late May bank holiday will be moved to 4 June 2012 and 5 June will be made into an extra bank holiday - according to the Government press release, this will give us the chance for a "long weekend of celebration".
While it's probably a bit early for HR professionals to start thinking about the implications for their organisation of the extra bank holiday, there are lots of FAQs about bank holidays on XpertHR, and maybe the thought of a long summer weekend (however distant) will help you get through whatever snow-related travel chaos you are having to cope with today.
You can read more about the extra bank holiday and the plans for the diamond jubilee celebrations on the BBC website.
