Make St George's Day a Bank Holiday

Additional Information

The Irish have a Bank Holiday to celebrate St Patrick's Day. Quite frankly I am astounded the 23rd of April, isn't a National Bank Holiday for England to celebrate and remember St George.

I for one believe the people of England should be given the opportunity to celebrate St George's Day, by declaring it a Bank Holiday.
