Make 12th July 2027 a Bank Holiday for 1100th anniversary of the birth of England
Make Monday 12th July 2027 a bank holiday in England to commemorate the 1100th anniversary of the birth of England.
It is recognised by many that the meeting arranged by King Æthelstan on 12th July 927 at ‘Eamotum’ in Cumbria represents the original unification of the English people. After this date King Æthelstan styled himself as Rex Anglorum - King of the English. We believe the Government, by creating a bank holiday on that day, would indicate its recognition of this significant day.
