Petition Change the early May bank holiday to coincide with and celebrate VE Day
Change the early May bank holiday so that it is on VE Day, and make the day a celebration of what is British, remembering those that sacrificed their lives so that we were able to retain our culture and values.
More details
VE Day is a day to celebrate and we have seen this year, during the CV19 outbreak, just how much it can unite the nation, even during times of distancing.
By making the first May bank holiday, we aren’t gaining an extra BH, just adding purpose to one that already exists within the same fortnight. It could be a great chance to celebrate a remarkable part of our history.
