Create a moment of national remembrance of D-Day

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

To mark D-Day with a national moment of remembrance every year on 6th June with a minute’s silence at 11am

Why it was rejected

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

The Government has no responsibility for such minutes' silence. These are often promoted by private bodes or charities and sometimes become part of a society's cultural memory.
