It happened on Friday, 22 November.

The above is fine in BrE.

The comma should definitely be added, for both sentences. In Commonwealth English, we write

It happened on Friday, 22 November.
I don't know why, but in American English, they write

It happened on Friday, November 22.

I'd put the day of the month before of: the 22nd of November. Otherwise, after.
