Rejected petition Keep May day Bank holiday 2020 May 4th Honour VE day by another holiday May 6th
As the early Bank Holiday or Mayday is known as the workers holiday, this is an important day for parties, festivals and demonstrations, by linking it to the VE day anniversary would not honour that historic day, just erode the spirit of Mayday, make each day separate so we can honour each event.
