The UK plans to introduce a four-day bank holiday in 2025 to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, honoring the 'Greatest Generation.' The celebration could occur around May 8, Victory in Europe Day, or August 15, Victory over Japan Day. While no specific dates are confirmed, options include May 9 and 12 or adding August 22 to the existing summer bank holiday. The move aims to recognize the sacrifices of the approximately 70,000 remaining WWII veterans.
