Dates not matching with formula and conditional formatting

Hello. I am having real difficulty with conditional formatting for dates. 

I am trying to highlight dates that fall on a weekend or a bank holiday. But for some reason the conditional formatting is highlighting the day prior.

 

I have fixed the weekend by increasing the formula by 1 (which is not ideal but worked). 

 

But bank holidays are just not showing correctly. 

 

I have put the next bank holiday in column A (26th Aug) but the spreadsheet highlights the 25th.

 

Any ideas?

    You have selected entire rows for the "Apply to" range.

    A row begins in column A, so your formulas should refer to A$2 instead of B$2.
