Well if you only move around what already exists you do nothing new to mark such an event then.
So you detract from the importance iof the occasion in my view.
One extra bank holiday in one year, would not be in any way excessive.
We have fewer than most anyway.
So this important event just has the day marked with what was there earlier that week anywsy.
Nothing special added to the massive occasion.
I'd have marked it with a weeks events if I'd had my way.
The veterans alive still now, most aren't sadly likely to get the chance to mark any other landmark occasions like this.
