Petition Queen Elizabeth II Day: New bank holiday 8th September or the Birthday (21.4)

Queen Elizabeth II was our longest reigning Monarch, and the Nation's, and I believe the World’s most popular ever Monarch. A day for our Nation to come together and celebrate the life of the Queen. As longest serving monarch, her service and term as Head of State will never be repeated.

In the words of President Macron, “to you, she was your Queen, to us, she was THE Queen…The most constant symbol of Great Britain”.
She was indeed, an inspirational woman.

Britain has fewer bank holidays than most European countries; France has 11 compared with our 8, Spain has 14. We believe we need a new public bank holiday to mark our greatest Sovereign’s lifetime; a Queen Elizabeth Day. This is a fitting permanent memorial to Queen Elizabeth the Great.
