Honor David Attenborough by declaring his 100th birthday a bank holiday

The Issue

Sir David Attenborough has educated and inspired millions with his dedication to the natural world. As he approaches his 100th birthday on May 8, 2026, we believe this milestone should be commemorated with a national bank holiday in the United Kingdom. This gesture would not only celebrate his remarkable contributions to natural history and broadcasting but also allow people to reflect on the importance of understanding and preserving our environment.

Support this petition to urge the UK government to honor Sir David Attenborough, a national treasure, by establishing a bank holiday on his 100th birthday. Sign now to celebrate a life spent making the world a better place.
