Extra public holiday in 2020 to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day.

What the petition asks
In 2020 the 75th anniversary of VE Day is to be commemorated. It has been reported that the May bank holiday will be moved to the Friday 8th May. The gov implemented an additional public holiday for Prince Williams wedding, so why not for this which has far more significance than a royal wedding.
