It's a bank holiday, it's not part of your leave entitlement. Have an extra day and enjoy it :Very Happy

You should be be able to claim it back as asbru says but I would check with the Union, Sheffield or even local management to see if you can add it to the paternity leave

I reckon you should have an extra day owed to you as you do when bank holidays fall on R/Days or when you are on A/L
