The long Easter weekend brought with it two bank holidays, one of which falls today (Easter Monday).
We have now had three of this year's bank holidays - a time when lots of businesses close or operate with reduced hours, and many people get the day off work. Schools also close on bank holidays.
And there are still many more to come, with the next one falling in just five weeks time.
