<holidayfyi-glossary slug="declared-holiday"></holidayfyi-glossary>An ad-hoc public holiday proclaimed by a government or authority at short notice in response to a special event, such as a state funeral, a royal coronation, or a national sports championship victory, distinct from scheduled public holidays in that it is not recurrent or predictable. Examples include the extra bank holiday granted in the UK for Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in 2022 and ad-hoc declarations in many countries following significant national or international events, requiring rapid adjustment by businesses, schools, and public services.
