I suggest you book your ceremony for when you have returned to the UK.

A naturalisation certificate is NOT a travel document. If you don't have a BRP and you are a visa national, you will unlikely be able to board a plane back showing a certificate, which is just a piece of paper at the end of the day.

Thanks for the reply, The letter i received from home office says in 21 days you have to book your ceremony , i also call the council the said your deadline for the ceremony is in may 2020 which is almost 3 months, i am going on holidays for 40 days still i will be able to book ceremony while return from my holidays? of do i need to book it now?

Book the ceremony now for a date when you are back in the UK.

You must book within 21 days and ATTEND the ceremony within 90 days.
