Make the Iris flower the National Symbol of Remembrance for those lost to Covid

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

100,000 tragic deaths due to Covid-19, 3 of which were extremely precious members of my family.
Please implement the Iris flower as a National Symbol of Remembrance for the fallen, alongside a national day of mourning. Wearable Irises could raise money for Covid charities & the NHS.

Those we’ve lost should never be forgotten. If we implement the Iris as a National Symbol of Remembrance for all those who have lost their lives due to Covid, it would be a lasting mark of respect. Just as we never forget the fallen on Armistice day, please ensure that we never forget the fallen in the war against Covid.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The Government isn't responsible for designating national symbols, such as flowers.
