Battle of Waterloo Bank Holiday

Responsible department: Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

On 18th June 2015 it will be 200 years since we beat the French at Waterloo. To celebrate this magnificent achievement, Monday 20th June 2015 should be declared a Bank Holiday.

The proposed date does not conflict with any other Bank holidays and it will enable all parts of the UK to come together to celebrate this very special occasion.
