Petition Create a new Ancestors Bank Holiday

We want the Government to make the 3rd Monday of September a bank holiday in the United Kingdom, in recognition of all whom we have known and have now passed from this life. This new Bank Holiday shall be known as Ancestors day.

More details

We believe this is a fitting and appropriate way for the UK to remember HRH Queen Elizabeth II and our own losses.

With the recent passing of HRH Queen Elizabeth II I noticed that many when interviewed mentioned that the event also brought back memories of their own loss.

I feel creating a new Bank Holiday around the anniversary of HRH Queen Elizabeth II's funeral would be a good way to remember HRH Queen Elizabeth II and all our losses would be a most appropriate event.
