Do you have a right to take the Jubilee bank holiday off?

There is an extra bank holiday just around the corner for us to spend hanging bunting and throwing parties with the neighbours. But while you may have bought the commemorative mug and ordered in the sandwiches, the question is whether you are actually entitled to the day off.

Because many of us may actually discover at the 11th hour, that the only neighbours we'll be spending the Diamond Jubilee with are the people at work with the nearest desks.
