There have been a large number of people calling for the government to announce an extra bank holiday on Monday, if England win Euro 2020.

Over 150,000 people have signed a signature that calls for Boris Johnson to announce a bank holiday, but the chances of it occurring are slim, with the government unlikely to support the idea. A more likely idea is a ā€˜day of celebrationā€™ at a later date.

The petition states:

ā€œEngland are playing a European Championship Final at 8pm on Sunday 11th July.

ā€œIt would be beneficial and sensible to give the country the day off the next day if England win, in the form of an extra Bank Holiday Monday.ā€
