Liberation day is also now Jersey’s National Day!
As lead on the Island Identity project I am very pleased to report that the States Assembly approved my proposition to recognise Liberation Day as Jersey’s National Day. We will continue to refer to it as Liberation Day and the celebrations will remain as they are, but it will now have the status and internationally recognised importance of a National Day.
The Assembly also approved ‘Beautiful Jersey’ as the Jersey Anthem (obviously not the National Anthem which remains as ‘God Save the King’). It is very fitting that these two decisions were made ahead of the Liberation 80 Celebrations.
