Create an NHS bank holiday and honour significant lockdown heroes.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

After this is all over to create a special day for commemorating NHS and all other key workers during this historic Coronavirus event. Award honours to significant contributors.

An example of an honour would be HM The Queen awarding Capt. Tom Moore a knighthood on his 100th birthday as this war veteran has raised such a massive amount of money for NHS and lifted morale all round.
