So I’m told 19th in the UK is going to be classed as a bank holiday , is that the same as a public holiday ? Companies have to give you the day off by law?

They don't have to give you the actual day but can include it in your annual leave entitlement if it is a required working day.

No one is entitled to the exact day off as many industries cannot close down for the day.

I was supposed to be at a two day conference starting on Monday, they've cancelled it (at great expense), and said the offices will be closed. I'm on a WFH contract so will no doubt log on and do some work anyway....I'll have a lie-in though, and probably watch the funeral.

I thought ...... fuck me ... are we going t have a two min silence at every sodding meet I go to this week ...... ?

Also .... I go to an evening class and they've cancelled next Monday's. The queen died apparently.

I really don’t understand this. In other countries the government declare public holidays and employees must give you the day off , a day off in leui or pay you. In the uk we have just bank holidays , they are not enforced and generally only people who work in banks, government or council & schools tend to get given them ?

Self-employed and extremely busy, so trying to get extra hours in this week.

Will have a paperwork/accounts day on Monday.

Difficult for some but as the Queen gave us 73 years of service, then giving up a day doesn't seem such a hardship!

No they don’t have to give the day off by law. Just ask anyone working in the emergency services or retailing - however I believe most stores will be closed for this one. Being self employed, I’ll be working.
