The COVID19 outbreak has created move disruption than any World War the United Kingdom has been through. In celebration of coming through this we should have a nationwide way of celebrating The UK overcoming this threat to our nation.

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This would be a matter for religious institutions, not the UK Government or Parliament.
