Dozens of Britons - who have spent almost a year living under various forms of lockdown - have now called on the Prime Minister to make June 21 a Bank Holiday so they can celebrate the end of restrictions. Another campaign has called for the same, asking the Government to create a one-off holiday on June 21 called 'Merriweather Day' so family and friends are able to spend time together.
