To be noted for the UK in 2011 there is one extra days holiday this year due the Royal Wedding on the 29th April 2011.Public Holidays were introduced in 1871 when a law was passed in Britain called the Bank Holiday Act 1871. The Act defined four annual dates when banks would be closed in addition to Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
Bank Holidays UK shows a listing of all dates for 2011, 2012, 2013 and also lists the notable dates like Valentines Day and St Georges Day.
