GUERNSEY should have a day off for the royal wedding despite the cost to business, according to Chamber of Commerce president Julian Winser.
Prince William and fiancee Kate Middleton have announced that they will marry on Friday 29 April in Westminster Abbey.
The UK has declared the day a bank holiday, but Commerce and Employment still needs to take the issue to the States, which is itself currently scheduled to sit that day. The chief minister is to discuss that with C and E.
Mr Winser said it would be important to use the day to celebrate.
