The Welsh Conservatives have joined calls to move the early May bank holiday to mark the May 6th coronation of King Charles III.
Commenting on the news, Welsh Conservative Shadow Culture Minister, Tom Giffard MS said:
“We recognise the King’s decision to hold his coronation on a Saturday, perhaps reflecting a humble desire to cause minimal disruption to our everyday lives.
“However, there is a clear appetite from the British people to mark this event officially and to celebrate His Majesty’s new reign with a bank holiday.
“This will be a truly historic event with immense cultural significance. For many, this will be the first coronation they will have witnessed, and we are fully behind calls to move the bank holiday in his honour.”
