The UK could be given an extra Bank Holiday in 2025 to mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War . A commemorative Bank Holiday may be introduced with a four-day weekend planned to mark the milestone moment. A four-day festivity is expected to coincide with May 8, as the nation marks Victory in Europe Day - the momentous date in 1945 when Germany surrendered. It will also honour August 14, the day Japan conceded defeat. The most popular dates for the occasion would be for May 9 and 12,
