St George's Day will become a national holiday if Labour wins the General Election , says Jeremy Corbyn.
The Labour leader told The Mirror his party will make the patron saint's day of each home nation a bank holiday, creating four new holidays for the UK.
The plan would see St George's Day, St David's Day, St Patrick's Day and St Andrew's Day become public holidays.
Mr Corbyn said the move would bring together the four home nations to "celebrate the national cultures" while allowing workers to have a break.
The bank holidays would therefore fall on St David's Day (March 1), St Patrick's Day (March 17), St George's Day (April 23) and St Andrew's Day (November 30).
Mr Corbyn said: "The four nations that make up our great country have rarely been more divided due to the damaging and divisive policies of this Conservative Government.
"But where Theresa May divides, Labour will unite our four nations. A Labour government will make St George's Day - England's national day and Shakespeare's birthday - a public holiday, along with St David's Day, St Andrew's Day and St Patrick's Day.
"And we will ask for the support of the governments of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland so that the same four holidays can be enjoyed across the United Kingdom.
"These holidays will be a chance for workers to spend time with their families, in their communities and with their friends. But they will also be a chance to celebrate the national cultures of our proud nations."
UK workers could also be treated to an extra day off this year thanks to the Queen.
To mark her Sapphire Jubilee, Conservative MP for Romford Andrew Rosindell, said it would be a "missed opportunity " not to mark the milestone with an extra bank holiday to celebrate.
Previously an extra bank holiday was held in 2012 to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and also for her Golden Jubilee in 2002.
