Rejected petition Declare 24th June as UK Independence Day and a public holiday

24/06/2016 was an historic day when the UK voted out of the EU to declare their independence. To mark this day in history, I believe 24th June should be declared as the UK's Independence Day and should be celebrated as a public holiday.
