It would be great for us to have a public holiday for 23rd April. The proximity to Easter may require some coordination.

A bank holiday is an excellent way to mark England's national day to enable all people in England to enjoy the festivities

Scotland, Wales and the Irish celebrate their Saints day enthusiastically and patriotically and so should the English. Display the flag with pride an never be made to feel shamed of it.
