Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Allocate a day, as a national day of mourning for those whose lives were taken during the covid19. Buikd a Memorial for keyworkers who gave their lives & a national memorial to those national victims & a festival of thanks for keyworkers and make the bluebell flower the national symbol of thanks.

It has become apparent during the covid19 outbreak that the keyworkers in this country during this crisis are soldiers in their own right. Some have given the Ultimate sacrifice and should be recognised as the soldiers in this war. But we should also take a day to mourn those who have lost their lives. Many whose families have not had a proper funeral. But we also need to be able to show national thanks and praise for all keyworkers. Make the bluebell the national flower of thanks for carers.
