Thank you for taking the time to write to me about VJ Day August 15th 2020.
The Government wants to ensure that as many people as possible have the opportunity to pay a fitting tribute to those who served in one of the most significant events in our country’s history. I can confirm that the Early May Bank Holiday in 2020 will move from Monday 4 May to Friday 8 May to mark the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, which takes place on this date.
