Remembrance yearly Day for everyone who has died from covid 19 “forgot me not “

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like a yearly day to remember everyone who died of covid 19 - memorial with everyone’s names who have died blue and white flower forget me not and the colours will represent the nhs like the Poppy Day 2 minute silence on the first day of covid 19 in the UK
I believe this would be good for national support and for our nhs, and it will be the best way to show solidarity for all the hundreds of lives lost and to support the government and charities to help fund them with the purchase of the forget me not flower in a paper form or badge. This would help the uk be united as one
