Captain Tom Moore day. 30th April. A new bank holiday
A new bank holiday to honour Captain Tom Moore.
We have not had a new bank holiday added to our current ones for quite some time. We are also lagging behind many other nation in the amount of bank holidays per year.
To honour the massive achievement of (Sir) Captain Tom Moore, we should add another to bank holidays in the UK.
