Monday 4 May will still have the bank holiday on but, if the proposals are approved, this would give islanders an extra public holiday on Friday 8 May.
Although it falls on a Saturday, Liberation Day would also remain a public holiday under the plans.

Explaining the decision, Senator Le Fondré, said: “The Council of Ministers has decided not to replicate the UK or Guernsey. We have agreed to add an extra day on Friday 8 May as an additional public holiday, subject to the agreement of the States Assembly.
“This will allow islanders to mark the island’s liberation on Saturday 9 May, as well as VE Day the day before.”
The extra public holiday is subject to approval from the States Assembly. A formal proposition will be published next week and debated later this year.
It comes after a new petition campaigning for an extra public holiday began this week, and quickly gained traction online with nearly 500 signatures at the time of writing.
