The United Kingdom observes several bank holidays throughout the year, including one in 2025. Bank holidays are public holidays when banks and other financial institutions are closed, providing an opportunity for people to take a break from work and enjoy time off.
In 2025, the UK bank holiday falls on Monday, May 5th. This holiday commemorates the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, known as VE Day. VE Day marks the day when the Allies accepted the surrender of Nazi Germany, bringing an end to the war in Europe. It is a significant day of remembrance and celebration in the UK, and the bank holiday provides an opportunity for people to come together and honor those who served and sacrificed during the war.
