Declare a nationwide bank holiday for the upcoming royal wedding

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The days on which the marriages of Prince William to Kate Middleton (2011) and Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer (1981) were marked as bank holidays to celebrate and commemorate.

It may not be a tradition, but we the undersigned believe it's only fair to do the same for the upcoming wedding.
