The announcement of the date for the King’s coronation has sparked calls for a change to the May bank holiday in order to mark the event.
The deeply religious affair will be held on Saturday May 6 next year, with the Queen Consort being crowned alongside Charles, Buckingham Palace announced. It will take place in Westminster Abbey, eight months after the monarch’s accession and the death of the Queen.
Following the announcement, the Daily Mail reports a number of MPs have called for the May 1 bank holiday to be pushed back until Monday May 8 to give the country a long weekend. Tory former Cabinet minister David Jones told the paper: “To combine the two events would be welcomed by the entire nation. “It would make a very special memory for all of us.”

His comments were echoed by former Labour frontbencher Khalid Mahmood, who said: “We can move the holiday back to the coronation weekend. We have a unique system with the monarchy and an independent parliament – I would back Britons having a three-day weekend to mark the occasion.”
The Palace said the ceremony will be “rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry” but also “reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future”. Charles III will be anointed with holy oil, receive the orb, coronation ring and sceptre, be crowned with the majestic St Edward’s Crown and blessed during the historic ceremony.
Camilla will also be anointed with holy oil and crowned, just like the Queen Mother was when she was crowned Queen in 1937. May 6 is also the birthday of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son Archie – Charles’s grandson – who will be turning four on the day.
