Guernsey will follow the UK in marking the day of the State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II with a public holiday - after King Charles III approved that request during his Principal Proclamation this morning.
His Majesty was asked to approve plans for a public holiday in the UK, ahead of the date of the State Funeral being confirmed, which he did.
The States of Guernsey have since said the same will apply here.
"Following the confirmation by His Majesty King Charles III that there will be a public holiday in the UK on the day of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, we can confirm that there will be a public holiday in Guernsey on the same day."
Since then, it has been confirmed that Her Majesty will be laid to rest on Monday 19 September, following a service at Westminster Abbey.
