At the last Falkland Islands Executive Council (Exco) meeting, the Exco advised the Acting Governor, Ric Nye, to issue a notice appointing December 29, 2010, as a public holiday.
In addition, at that same meeting, the Exco asked the Governor to declare April 29, 2011, the date of the wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton, a one-off public holiday in the Falkland Islands.
The UK (23-Nov-2010), Scotland (24-Nov-2010), and the Isle of Man (26-Nov-2010), have already announced that April 29, 2011, would be a one-off public holiday, while Jersey (22-Nov-2010), Gibraltar (01-Dec-2010), and Guernsey and Alderney (02-Dec-2010) are currently considering the idea.
