Rejected petition Rename the National Memorial Arboretum after Queen Elizabeth II

Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was held in particular esteem with members of the Armed Forces and Veterans and likewise was very close to the armed forces. The National Memorial Arboretum should be renamed The Queen Elizabeth ii National Memorial Arboretum

More details

Given all military and civil defence personnel serve the Crown it would be entirely appropriate way of marking Her Late Majesty's long reign to have the National Memorial Arboretum renamed in her honour

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Decisions about who is honoured at the National Memorial Arboretum is a matter for the Arboretum and the Royal British Legion, not the Government or House of Commons.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
