Will the bank holiday for the Queen’s state funeral be on Sunday September 18 or Monday September 19?
As set out in Operation London Bridge, the official plan for the coordination of the Queen’s state funeral, the day of the Queen’s death is to be referred to as D-Day or D-Day + 0.
However, according to some royal experts, because the death of the Queen was not formally announced until 6.30pm on Thursday September 8, D-Day became Friday September 9, 2022. Members of the public attend the Accession Council ceremony at St James’s Palace, London, where King Charles III is formally proclaimed monarch. Charles automatically became King on the death of his mother, but the Accession Council, attended by Privy Councillors, confirms his role. Picture date: Saturday September 10, 2022. If Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral takes place on Monday September 19, schools right across the United Kingdom will close.
