Petition Create a November Bank Holiday for Armistice Day starting from the centenary in 2018

More details

The United Kingdom has historically lacked a bank holiday between August and December. The upcoming centenary of the end of the First World War in 2018 provides an ideal opportunity to instigate a bank holiday. This could have a focus on peace, reconciliation as well as acknowledging the sacrifices that were made for our current freedoms.
