                          About Public Holidays in Guernsey

                          Guernsey, a British Crown Dependency, observes UK bank holidays but adds Liberation Day (May 9), commemorating the 1945 end of German occupation during World War II - one of only two Channel Islands to have been occupied, and the only holiday of its kind on this list tied specifically to that history.
