Not only will Jersey see a National Day, but it also has a National Anthem too.
'Beautiful Jersey', or 'Man beau p’tit Jèrri', is officially the song that will be played at major events and sporting competitions.
The chorus of “Beautiful Jersey” (in either English or Jèrriais) is played at such events until a formal anthem is selected.
- Minister for International Development, Deputy Carolyn Labey
Deputy Montfort Tadier suggested making the Corn Riots a National Day as well. However, States Members disagreed with this idea.
He says he was not proposing another Bank Holiday.
"We can have days of national importance like the Air Display and Battle of Flowers - those are not Bank Holidays or Public Holidays - but it doesn't stop them being of cultural significance."
