The 75th anniversary of VE Day - or Victory in Europe Day - is here meaning much of the UK will be enjoying a bank holiday. While the early May bank holiday is traditionally held on the

first Monday of the month, this year the Government changed the public holiday in anticipation of a national celebration of the historic moment. However, this was not to be. Because of

lockdown, national events have been cancelled and instead people will have to celebrate the event in the comfort of their own homes. While it may not have been the celebration we expected,

households are still trying to get into the spirit with garden parties and by decorating their homes in Union Jack bunting. So if you're planning on toasting our heroes at 3pm on May 8,

or hosting a garden party with your household, you'll likely need to pop to the shops to top up your fridge and kitchen cupboard. But given it's a bank holiday, will your local

Aldi be open? Express.co.uk brings you a guide to shopping this bank holiday. READ MORE:  BANK HOLIDAY OPENING HOURS: ARE SHOPS OPEN TODAY ON BANK HOLIDAY? The supermarket said: "All

priority shopping time for emergency workers which will now include all groups entitled to a Blue Light card. This includes all Social Care Workers, First Responders and St John’s Ambulance

staff, amongst many others. "This is in addition to early access on a Sunday, where they can enter stores 30 minutes prior to opening." Aldi opens half an hour early, from Monday

is quietest between 7pm to 10pm. The next bank holiday is just a few weeks away, with the pring bank holiday taking place on Monday, May 25. But when are the next bank holidays after that?
