Open Make November 11th a bank holiday

Created by Oliver Siddall
Closes on

I want the government to change the 11th of November to a bank holiday for Remembrance Day. This is to remember the soldiers lost in battle in both World War 1 and World War 2.

I want the government to do this because I believe the soldiers deserve a day of remembrance and not just two minutes of silence. Remembrance Day is already a recognised bank holiday in numerous other countries and I think it should also be a bank holiday in England. This day could be used to spread awareness about the soldiers who lost their life protecting us and our future generations.
