Will there be a bank holiday in England if they win Euro 2020?
Boris Johnson has got people excited about the prospect of a day off work if England bring Euro 2020 on Sunday  Everyone in England loves a bank holiday. An extra day to relax, nurse a hangover, or spend the day with the family. Following Englands success during the Euro 2020 tournament, Boris Johnson has left the door ajar on whether there will be a bank holiday on Monday after Sundays final. It is the first time in 55 years since England have reached the final of a major international tournament and could be rewarded with an extra day off should they emerge victorious.

Extra bank holidays can be created  there will be an additional day off next year to celebrate the Queens Platinum Jubilee. But it currently looks unlikely that the nation will be granted a day off, but that has not stopped the people of England just yet. A petition has been created on the governments website and has amassed more than 350,000 signatures to make Monday a bank holiday. Before the Three Lions semi-final victory over Denmark on Wednesday evening, the government confirmed that licensing laws would be relaxed to allow pubs to stay open until 11:15pm in case the game went to extra-time and penalties. The change in pub opening times was a fortunate one for England fans as the game went into extra-time, but penalties were not required after England captain Harry Kane initially missed from 12 yards but converted the rebound, sending Wembley, and the entire nation, into delirium. Alongside speculation of adding to the eight bank holidays already in England, is the possibility of knighthoods for manager Gareth Southgate and some of the England players.

Alongside the England manager, both Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling MBE titles could be upgraded should they win the European Championship. Manchester City winger Sterling has arguably been Englands, and the tournament's best player so far. He received his MBE honour just before the tournament started after fronting anti-racism and discrimination campaigns and speaking out strongly against racism on and off the pitch for several years.
