Make Armistice Day a bank holiday
Move one of the current bank holidays from May to the 11th November.
To remember our fallen service men and women and to teach future generations of their sacrifices. Armistice Day is currently a public holiday in France, who was our ally in the last two world wars and we think we should align with them once again. Plus with Good Friday, Easter Monday, May Day and the Spring bank holiday all falling in quick succession, we think it would be good to have a bank holiday later in the year between August bank holiday and Christmas.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
